One of the bigger jobs we undertook last year was the restoration of Boojum - an Edwardian gaff cutter, built by W. Thomas in Falmouth over 100 years ago. We replaced the deck after making good the deck frame, then went on to refurbish the deck furniture, build and commission an entire new rig and dozens of other jobs that had accrued over the last century or so. Nine months of solid work for Ostins, Ben, John and Mel, with Dennis and Jay on the rigging. She sailed for her new home in the channel islands early this year, during a lucky weather window.
