Northern Rebuild
Ian Richardson, working in the Orkney Islands, is in the process of completely rebuilding Dylis. The photo above (from FaceBook) shows both encouraging progress and the enormity of the task. Dilys is almost completely replanked. Gunwales, deck and coachroof have still to be done (September 2014).
