My Cray boat restoration

I choose this topic because I have a passion to restore and sail a yacht up and down the East coast of Tasmania.

I always had a criteria in my head of what I desired in a style of boat and when I purchased this hull it was certainly in a state of disrepair. I sought the advice of a qualified shipwright.

The outcome that I would like is to restore and sail a yacht to my input and specification.

Retrieval strategies that I applied

I talked to Shipwrights and members of the boating community. I featured the boat in the Mercury newspaper. Fogangnolo,J.2007, Trawling for a past,' The Mercury, Apr 7 .

I Searched both local and interstate library Catalogues Currently I am reading and using this book from the Leichardt Library NSW COLES NAUTICAL ,London, pp 1176.Naujok,M.2002,Boat Interior Construction,2nd Edition ,ADLARD

Here are some of the URLs of Resin databases that I used.
