Announcement October 2005.
The Trust moved its last boat out of the Husbands Shipyard sheds at 1200 on Friday the 30th September 2005.
The Trust entered into a partnership with a group called EISCA (Eyemouth International Sailing Craft Association).
This partnership was terminated by mutual agreement, in 2007.
In the meantime, we have been extremely fortunate in that the Officer Commanding the SMC (Sea Mounting Centre) at Marchwood, has offered us space to put our office portacabin, with our stores containers, as well as the small boats.
We have been offered a berth alongside, within the Marchwood Military Port, for ST1502.
This continues to be a temporary home, and we continue to seek alternative accommodation to see us over until the Poole Centre materialises.
Our larger boats are safely stored here in the South.
The Trust continues to operate at full strength, and the winter months will see a slow down in work done, and give the opportunity for those who have worked to achieve a successful result, a short break.
We continue to seek an alternative place for work to continue on the boat restoration process.
Due to the attempts of some individuals to get the old sheds listed, the owners had no option but to break them down.
The Husbands shipyard sheds are therefore no more, and the last of this type of shed here in the south, has gone forever.
