IN ASSOCIATION WITH
As anyone who’s tried it knows well, building or restoring a wooden boat takes some doing. Yes, woodworking
may be one of the fi nest hobbies known to man, but launch day can sometimes be harder to reach than fi rst
imagined. As our features on Tern and Morwenna this month show (and next month we feature another remark-
able job, the refi t of Cambria), it doesn’t matter whether you’re a commercial boatyard or an amateur at home, it
boils down to the same graft and craft. So it’s right that those who have made it to the fi nish line, and done so in
style, get the applause they deserve. The Classic Boat Awards recognises the outstanding professional and amateur
work that has taken place over the past year in bringing old boats back to life, or launching new-build classics,
either in a traditional or modern style. Our shortlist is on page 37. Who will your vote go to?
