Fantastic work!  So good to see a boat come alive again.

Interesting work area, didnt you worry about an unexpected sluice event getting your power tools wet!

I will try to get up to Newsons, busy most weekends sailing but hopefully later in the year.

Well done, great workClap

Can we get this straight. This isn't a Humber Class boat, it's an Army Rivers Class Fast Launch, one of which is named Humber. If you put mistakes in print often enough you will eventually be believed.

Garth is an Army(RASC) Rivers Class Fast Launch. Humber is an Army(RASC) Rivers Class Fast Launch. There are several other survivors, all named after rivers in the UK. Humber is at Newsons Boatyard, Lowestoft in the care of The MTB102 Trust. RASC means Royal Army Service Corp if you don't already know. The RASC operated the Armys' watercraft, sometimes known as the WD Fleet.
Garth is shown as the 34th vessel in a list of the Rivers Class Fast Launches. As far as I know these vessels only displayed their name and not a number. John Cook is using a bit of "poetic licence" by displaying the number 34 on Garth.
