If you’re thinking of attending this year’s Collins Stewart London Boat Show (5-14 January, ExCel Centre) then don’t forget to visit the Classic Boat feature stand – it’s right at the East end of the North Hall, No N622, and features a number of interesting boats, traditional crafts such as knotting, with our old friend Des Pawson, sailmaking with James Lawrence, who have now made all of Nancy’s current sails, and spar-making, as well as samples of Old Pultney whisky.
And if you’re there on Tuesday or Wednesday, you can catch our Chairman giving a talk on Nancy’s history in the lecture theatre on the stand.

The talk features a new PowerPoint slide presentation, and covers Nancy’s adventures right up to and including this summer.

Times are Tuesday 9 January at 4.30pm and Wednesday 10 January at 12 noon. The theatre’s small, but you can book a seat in advance – just go to the CB desk on the stand.
