Doing up a old boat Andromeda

[Wansworth]

Found this today,the boat is now afloat on the east coast but might be interesting to go back and see the restoration work.No mention of the class just it’s a gaff cutter with a pole mast……liked his comment of now he doesn’t have the back of the car full of tools and stuff

Andromeda, John leather design, built 1966 by Smith and Woodham Ferrers Tucker (Boatbuilders). She was in the Walton Backwaters for many years, afloat then out of the water at Halls, before Clive bought her and did his videos. However I believe she was up for sale recently (not 100% sure). Was previously owned by a writer (I think) who I met at an Old Gaffers dinner at W&FYC.
