Project Aims

The aim of the Dorna project is to take a look at infrastructure needs, widen communication within the traditional boatbuilding community and with the public and to create a tourism opportunity based around our industry. The project is at the very initial stages and further information will be available at the launch. Starting in summer 2009, the Dorna project will involve visits to Scottish yards and events as well as visiting yards and projects in Spain, Portugal, Ireland. This is a fantastic opportunity to become involved in all aspects of the project including, Scottish events, training and research elements. In Summer 2010, our Spanish, Portuguese and Irish partners want GalGael to host a big celebration of the traditionally built boat here in Scotland. The help, enthusiasm and support of the maritime community in Scotland are what will make this project a success.
