Fixed up a boat


Recommended Posts

Last year I picked up a mahogany clinker boat in a bad state of repair & I’ve spent many an evening since working on it at the Lough Neagh Boating Heritage Association workshop (www.loughneaghboats.org) . I finally managed to launch it last week on the lough. I even caught a Bream even though I didn’t bring the rod. It had a chunk out of its head (propeller damage I think) and was in distress so I caught it in a plastic bag and found a handy priest. Hope it’s a good omen for this years fishing. I think I sorted out a seagull engine to power it and I want to use it for a bit of inshore fishing if conditions are favourable.
