Could I jump the queue and again thank Magnus for all the hard work he has put into this - I've been impressed by his steady working away at it, contacting everyone he can, setting up a website and email address, keeping track of everything, and looking at the future structures needed.
Peter Willis too has come up trumps, inspecting the boat and persuading NBT to back it.
It's been quite exciting to see the way Arthur Ransome appreciators from around the world have pulled together to support this bid, on their own without any backing organisation (though full credit to NBT).
So hopefully we'll win the auction, but if not at least we've not been duffers.
