Steve:  Most interested in your seaplane tender and believe we can offer not only a home for it but display/restoration as part of a maritime heritage project. We are genuinely interested.

Steve,
I've spoken to  'Sunderlander'  in the past and recommend him and his  project.  It will be great to see another one restored.

Cheers

Hi ASR1255,

Great to see your post and pic, we have met at the yard, I do hope she can go to a good home and hopefully even be brought back to working order. Posted before about this, but for Mistral, which I would really like to see at some stage, is on the historic register? if so, might be worth applying for a grant from National Historic Ships, max £3000 or 75% of the cost of works.  All the best,
