GalGael wishes to establish the level of interest that we are sure there will be in this project. We want to invite all those individuals, enthusiasts, informal groups, associations, organisations, amateur and professional boat builders to become involved.
Scotland has an amazing wealth of knowledge, archival material, examples of best practice, dedicated commercial builders, committed craftspeople and sailors. All are committed to raising awareness of our maritime heritage and keeping trades alive and welcoming new people into the craft. This could be great opportunity to reconnect and revitalise our traditional boatbuilding culture.
This is not so much a matter of looking back, but looking forward.
Of taking stock of what is on the ground in terms of yards, individual businesses, areas of potential, unique craft and skills and training gaps.
This is also a great opportunity for Scotland to connect and engage with other coastal communities in Ireland and Spain.
