One thing I love about the Classic Boat Awards each year is how they show the vast spectrum

of what a ‘classic’ can be. We have a clinker rowing boat, used by one woman as a ferry on an

east coast estuary. We have an aluminium J-Class with state-of-the-art fi ttings and electronics,

crewed by a small battalion. In between there are amateur builds and professional jobs, all

launched after months or years of graft. Each of the boats nominated for an award deserves the

highest commendation. On page 38 you can fi nd out how you voted to choose the winners. They are a

sparkling bunch. And if after reading that, you feel like having a go at winning a restoration award yourself, take a

look at page 50. A fi eld in Suffolk is full of old classics awaiting your love and fi nance. It would be nice to think

they will all have their moment at Classic Boat Awards ceremonies of the future.
