The first proof of A Boatbuilder’s Story arrived at the end of last week which is pretty exciting. There are a few changes still to make such as inserting a few of the images that recently turned up but it’s getting really close now. Exciting. It’s a larger format than the original and we’re also considering a limited run of hardback versions.. to help us gauge interest and determine whether or not to take that idea further then please if you’d be interested in one of those then leave a comment below. No idea on price for a hardback yet..
Defo interested on hardback copy.Tegards Mike
3 hardbacks for the Brownies please
My ‘other half’ had the privilage of sailing one of his fine craft throughout his childhood and would definitely like copy. He also has many photos of the boat if this may be of help to you? She did not appear in the original book. We are also very lucky to have a copy of the original book. Regards, Gina
Hi Gina, thanks for your comment. What was she called?
Fairway (later Fairwater) listed number 45 in the build list at the back of the book. Talked about on page 57, last paragraph. Regards, Gina
Hi Mike, Glad to hear that the book about Percy and his shipyard is about to come to the surface.
Would like one hardcover book please.
Cheers, Ed Boddaert
great, thanks for the feedback guys! I’ll keep you updated.
Hi Mike, I have an original copy of the book but I’m so looking forward to the new version. A hardback copy I think would be a lovely addition to my book collection.
Well done and kind regards.
Trevor:-)
Hard copy for me too!
Excited it’s nearly here…

Yes please – my family’s commissioned at least four boats from Percy, all of which are still hard at work today.
I’ve also rare cine film of a launch in Portmellon!
I’ve got a copy of the original book so think I’d like a couple of the new edition please.
Cheers,
Dave
Yes please Thanks
cool, it’s gone to print… just got to set up a quick website where you can buy. In the event they’re all going to be hardback, it didn’t add much to the price.
