I’ve had this old wooden rowing boat for a while now. In my mind it’s been a possible restoration project for years. In reality I know that most of the boat needs replacing and the skills and knowledge to get it water ready are beyond me. Wanting to give the old boat a life beyond, I thought to use it in an alternate way. Inspired by the boat-sheds on the beach at Lindisfarne and the memory of a family in a Dickens story living in an upturned boat on the beach at Yarmouth, (Great Expectations? David Copperfield?) I though to do something similar. Flip the boat up in the air and build a romantic shed under it. Using a stock of Ash to make a framework of ribs to complement the line of boat, cover that with clinker style cladding, a window or two... who knows.
