The 2017 refit and re-painting of the retired fishing boat and exhibit of Hastings Fishermen's Museum (website) RX134 Stacey Marie, is now complete...
I have already thanked the volunteers from the carpentry/building aspect of her restoration, Lee and his apprentice Rikki, and Brian McDonagh (blog), cheers again, and many thanks to Stamco (website) too, who supplied the timber used at no cost!
Now it is time to thank the annual painters and virtual caretakers, Mark and Steve, and Jason, who gave up his Wednesday day off to help us, many thanks all!
As I've said before, regular readers will be aware of my involvement with this project, the preservation of RX134, the Stacey Marie, which is the first exhibit of the Fishermen's Museum you reach when walking eastwards down Rock-a-Nore Road, on the shore/south side, next to the Fish Market and opposite the Dolphin Inn; go to her facebook page for further information, or visit Hastings Fishermen's Museum, a couple of minutes walk away further down Rock-a-Nore Road and on the same side (website), where donations would be very welcome, the museum being a registered charity, and who pay for materials used on the boat, many thanks.
