Myself, Daniel Johnson and Charlotte Watters bought Maureen in 2003 in a slightly sorry state and have slowly been restoring her ever since. At the time we were both students with a passion for sailing and classic boats. The restoration has been slow as it has all been done in spare time at weekends and on short holidays / breaks from work and College.

We have now fitted a new deck (including deck beams), replaced frames / ribs, keel bolts, a large section of deadwood keel , renewed the keel bolts , re fitted the interior and fitted a new engine (Sabb) amongst many other things.

She has now been afloat since summer 2007 surviving the winter on her mooring.

We have enjoyed many short voyages in the late 07 season around the Northwest coast of Scotland.
