Many, many thanks go to the following individuals and organisations who have generously given their time, money, goods or all three...


  • Matthew Adams Esq. for the use of his premises;

  • Ed The Engineer and Paul Bedford for the construction of the trailer;
  • Paul Williams at Yacht Legs in Henley;

  • Robbins Timber in Bristol for supplying all my timber and West Systems products;
  • My surveyor, Tony Tucker, for technical skill, assistance and advice;
  • Jo and Justin Bazalgette for labouring and support;
  • The numerous people who have come and helped out when they can - Bill Britten, Howard Forti, Ben Lincoln and Tom Cormie to name but a few;
  • My sons - Fraser, Peter and Andrew who have helped with the work, listened to my constant 'Vera' chatter and, along with my wife, Helen, been generally encouraging and supportive;
  • Andrew Kay for setting up and managing the Facebook page, without whom, etc., etc.;
  • Everybody who donated money - Simon Tyrrell, Matt Lever, Bill Britten and more...
  • Holts Automotive - holtsauto.com. When I had a problem with one of their paint products, Simoniz, the lovely people at Holts could not have been more proactive in resolving the issue or generous in their ongoing support.

With your help, ST 437 will once again ride the waves.
