We'd like to thank everybody who has leant their support to this project.

From those like Dave Johnson whose endless enthusiasm and moral support has got us to this stage to Ralf Loader and family who loaned their barn to get the pattern making moving in the early days and to Alex’s dad, Frank Briggs for giving us the run of the farm workshops.

Neal’s parents Des and Liz Pawson for their endless supply of hot meals, accommodation and not least the fantastic rope work that went into producing our bow nets.

We really appreciated the working holidays of Lucia Delvechio the crazy Italian doctor, Jan Bachman the sleeper from Kiel University and Ollie Taylor the swimmer who's boat building apprenticeship with Bungy started at birth. These visits helped keep the mushrooms sane!

To Sam, Dave, Alex, Mike and Tom from Solent University’s Yacht Manufacturing and Surveying course. We hope you gained something and your fingerprints have grown back from your time helping with the boat.

This is a very brief list, it could be very long if we included the cars and tools loaned , boats towed and humped around the farm, proposals and budgets proofed, and free consultations given. Everyone who has helped knows who they are and we’ll be eternally grateful.

We look forward to taking you all sailing in ’06

Thanks again.

Neal Pawson and Alex Ashworth Briggs
