Traditional boats at Southampton

Two delightful real wood boats were on display at the Southampton Boat Show, in the little ghetto reserved for non-grp, non-rib, non-horrible boats.

Alan Staley was showing a beautifully restored rowing dinghy Marcelle.
Jamie Clay had an Acorn skiff he built 18 years ago to Iain Oughtred's perennially popular design. Still 'much used and enjoyed by her owner,' Jamie says.
