    The generosity of companies like this never ceases to amaze me. And they seem like a really nice bunch of lads to boot. Well played, Cockwells, well played.

      That’s not generosity, that’s one very astute MD and a great workforce.
      Did you watch the one where Raymarine upgraded all Harry’s electronics, must be over a year ago? They don’t do it because they are philanthropic. They do it to keep their name at the forefront of customers’ minds.

      @@PhilbyFavourites - Meh. Cockwell’s don’t need the publicity. They have a solid business. I think you’re being a little cynical. Raymarine are a worldwide company, so yeah they can afford it. But Cockwell’s didn’t have to put so much effort into it for free.

      @@Liofa73very company needs publicity. Getting 100,000 or so people who are interested in boats to watch a video showing the craftsmanship and quality of your boat building business seems worth the few dozen hours of skilled work and the few hundred pounds on materials that this would have cost. It’s good business.

    Andy & Cockwells have done an amazing job, helping you out. Wood encapsulated in plastic always sounds like a recipe for sous vide wood if water gets between the layers, presumably some boats are glassed entirely? No sandwich of materials? small jobs turn into bigger jobs, and electronics aplenty relative to the size of your boat, they’ve made a gem out of your boat, let’s hope it weren’t too crazy expensive all round, what a marvellous set of folks at cockwells.

    Harry it’s wonderful that the generosity of a top line boat builder has made it possible for you to completely renovate Goodwin but then it’s not everyday that someone endeavours to circumnavigate Britain in a very small vintage speedboat, so I think it’s well deserved.

    I live in Texas now but I grew in Devon. Every summer the Dart River was where I spent all my time. I went to KEVICS in Totnes etc
    I competed at regattas all over the uk growing up. I loved sailing.
    I really look forward to every new you tube video you release.
    The views from the water bring back such memories for me. Sometimes you are filming in the exact place I sat or sailed years 40 ago bobbing up and down gazing or perhaps intent on a regatta race.
    It’s amazing how it takes me right there. Suddenly breathtaking as I see again a memory long gone.
    Also, and importantly!
    I have lived all over the place since leaving Devon at 18 years old. I learned 2 things relevant here.
    1. Ya’ll’s accent is correct ! Everywhere else is wrong.
    2. Devon is beautiful. It’s as beautiful as just about anywhere.
    Thank you !
