But those old boats just exude a feeling of hand built craftsmanship. To think of it sailing around when new and well cared for leaves me always in sadness and wanting to “do something”.

There is a fishing boat graveyard in Plymouth. Allen took me there a few years back. Was a sorry sight to see. In some places you could just see the ribs sticking out of the mud. They would be deliberately run aground then stripped of anything valuable and the rest left to rot.
