LITTLEPORT BOAT HAVEN

 A BOATYARD FOR THE ENTHUSIAST

1960s  BRISTOL  X1V RACING BOAT

This project is about restoring a Classic British  racing boat from the 1960s

with a view to getting  her racing again

 heres a few pics of her arriving at  Littleport Boathaven

FIRST JOB IS TO REMOVE THE MANY LAYERS OF OLD PAINT

THE TRANSOM WOOD BETWEEN THE GRP IS ROTTON AND NEEDS REPLACING

THE HULL AND SUPERSTRUCTURE ARE GLASSED TOGETHER FOR STRENGTH SO WE HAVE TO CUT   THE SUPERSTRUCTURE OUT  AT THE STERN TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE WOOD AND GRP TRANSOM

This project is  on hold as I am currently working on the Les Allen Narrowboat project in my spare time
