A small group of Nancy Blackett Trust members will soon travel the the boatyard at Southwold where Nancy is presently resting to "take her lines". This involves taking an accurate set of measurements of her hull at a series of points so that an equally accurate drawing of her hull can be reproduced.

From this drawing a "half-model" will than be made by Malcolm Johnston of Isle of Bute Models. For those of you who don't know what a half-model is it is literally a detailed model of the boat sliced in half down her length and mounted on a board. They are very beautiful and a number of Nancy's friends have already said that they would like to own such a model. As soon as we have produced the drawings for Malcolm and I have more details as to cost and availability I'll publish them on the Tarboard.
