Thats great news Bruce, when does ‘work’ start on the Vos shed?, by work I mean blokes with hammers. I know there is a lot of other work being done by the project team.

Hi Alan,

I am interested to see the Vos 16 footer. In conversation with John Street a little while ago, he mentioned that he/the Classic Yacht Charitable Trust has been given a Vos 16 footer that looks the same as the one in the photo, a stock production boat. It will be on display in the Vos shed, ultimately.

Cheers
Bruce
