Hi there,
Well, hm, not really unless you were a registered charity and could demonstrate it was worth it to some grant giving body I guess, can see what you are driving at but RASC Humber is in pretty origional condition, 34 pictured is a little altered but not so much, could be said yours serves very well as a houseboat....of course you could do with it what you like with your own time and money! ships and boats apart from a couple, have know legal protection.

The "keel" was fitted to many of these craft as the props both turn the same way and the keel/fin was fitted to improve directional control. Usually added in their civilian life. Not needed these days with hydraulic "run both ways" gearboxes and handed props. Richard. ------------- If it ain't broke don't fix it! |

As far as grants are concerned you stand a good chance of getting some funding from the Historic Ships Register once you have been registered for 6months. You do not need to be a registered charity but obviously it is favoured. I have just been awarded some funding towards new engines for the Avon Cheers Richard |

Hi Richard,
Well done on your grant for the engines, at least something from National Historic Ships, a few crumbs to our historic ships, for how long we don't know with the current situation, but at least it helps you, as you say, I would encourage those on the register to at least apply, and those not, well perhaps you might get something if they are around in six months.
