Take lots of pics at every stage... and lots of video.
Not just to keep this forum happy... More for your own records.
I took vids of Victorious rescue from the mud... move to my house etc (1998) and her launch in June 2005... But regret the fact that there is no footage of the years of rebuild..(mainly cos working alone theres nobody to point a vid camera)
Lots of stills but no Vidio 
Several times during the rebuild i got very disheartened by the scale of the task.
Looking back at the footage... reminded of how bad she was when i started... realising how much progress I'd made... Very good for rekindling motivation.
Websites are great.. but updating them? I have been hopeless at that... Partly cos the site was set up by a "friend" and he did not consider my lack of teccie skills... hence the site is not laid out to make updates easy!
Planning the site and anticipating what it will need as the boat progresses is essential
I guess Most of the forum have seen this, but if you have not....
(Big file.. broardband recomended)

Almost makes you cry at both ends of the work doesn't it, you start with what some call floating firewood, with history, then you end up with a work of art

Good idea but no idea where to start with a blog. Opened one at the same place as NAS , but no idea where to go now
Dave,
A blog will be definitely be the easiest way for you to keep folks updated with minimal effort.....
Given that you are only 15mins from me, would be happy to meet you for a beer one evening, and show you how to update the blog.... its really quite easy....
Amazed and impressed at what you are taking on..... best of luck!
Hope you are keeping her relatively local, so that I can make lots and lots of 'site visits'!

Bored?.... why not read my blog .... its the developing story of the trials and tribulations of boat ownership!

Thanks Neil, we will have to get together soon then, busy this weekend and back to see her again next, but soon as possible we'll have to meet. Unfortunately she can't be moved too far to start with, because when the previous owners decided to clean out the bilges < with shovels , the water started coming in. Been relatively dry for forty years !

Suggest the background music for your rebuild slideshow should be "Madman Across the Water" by Elton John, followed by "I'm Still Standing" when Persevere is finished.

I was thinking more along the lines of 'Never Ending Story' by the talented Limahl

..she was later fitted with an off centre stern tube and engine ...
According to "Sailing Barges", by Frank Carr, she was fitted with an engine and her rig removed around 1946 when owned by Messrs Theobalds.
I once had a weekend sailing in "Reminder" based at Maldon. It was very enjoyable and quite amazing to realise that such large and complex sailing craft could be operated, winter and summer, by only two men.
By the way, are you taking bookings yet for weekends on Persevere? If so, please put my name down.
