Margarite Marie
My Name is Nigel Wheeldon and I live in the UK
I have just reached my retirment age and am about to start converting a 54ft x 18ft canoe sterned wooden trawler.
She only has the old Lister 230 hp engine below deck the rest is just space!!!
When I found this excellent forum, I decide that the first thig I would do would be to cast out a net, on the net, for any information the other members/users could possibly share with me in the form of experiences, book & magazine reccommendations, photos, drawings, woodworking plans etc., anything at all will be very gratefully received and cherished.
It is also my intention to keep a blog of work done and put this up on the forum to show what has been done in 'before and after' format.
Please also feel free to warn me about getting carried away with 'overzealous', expectations, any lesson learned from similar projects will be very carefully heeded!!
Looking forward to any and all help and info with my project.
My very best regards to you all.

Take Care
