At this evening's workshop, talk turned to Fr McAteer, who passed away at the weekend. Fr McAteer - among many other contributions to the island community - was largely responsible for restarting the model yacht races in the 1980s. Without that contribution it's unlikely that any of us would have been gathering to make new model yachts today. The work continued though, with Marianne working on the very hard planing of the hull, and Stephen gratefully receiving the help of Douglas and Marianne on the gouging of the other hull. At times progress can seem slow, but it is ultimately very rewarding.
