Call for steering group members as Bettyhill boat project continues
Strathnaver Museum in Bettyhill is looking for people to help with the second phase of its boat building project.
The first phase of the project, which aims to preserve the area’s fishing and boat building heritage, saw the building of a community boat, named Grace, which was officially launched in Bettyhill last September.
A steering group is now being formed to oversee the continuation of the project.
Future plans include workshops in mast and sail making; sailing; boat maintenance; and water safety.
Strathnaver Museum development manager Fiona Mackenzie said:”Help north Sutherland’s community boat stay the course by joining Grace’s steering group. Don’t miss the boat- give us an ahoy today!”
Contact Fiona by email: fiona@strathnavermuseum.org.uk or private message the museum on Facebook.
