The original timber is confined to some of the frames and the keel. I don't think it was a labour of love - it was a boatyard job that seems to have got out of hand until the money ran out. The joinery is very impressive though.
The boat is being moved as I write, down to the lock end of the marina. They are warping it along the wall
