The team of volunteers who are building the St Ayles rowing skiff for Troon are making great progress. The bow, stern and keel shapes have been put in place and work has moved on to planking the hull. In the coming weeks, an important milestone will be celebrated when the hull is completed and the boat is lifted off its mould and placed, right way up, on a cradle for work to continue on the inside of the boat. The team have faced a number of interesting challenges but are encouraged by the fact that it is beginning to look like all the other boats of this type in Scotland.
