Down at the Beach House the Portobello boatbuilders and rowers got together for the first planning meeting. Lots of enthusiasm and commitment with actions agreed to ensure the project really takes off and involves people and groups across Portobello.The project will be officially launched in the New Year, but one thing’s clear now – we aim launch the first Portobello boat in April or May 2010.

Stan Reeves from Tollcross joined us to tell us about the success of the Tollcross Boat Project which has built a currach – a traditional Irish boat. We haven’t even started building our boat, but we’ve already accepted a challenge to race against the Tollcross currach in June.
