The brother and I restored an old Cheltenham a couple of years ago.
There are a few pics of the restoration at the link above if anyone is interested.
It was a challenge because when we got it home we discovered that damp had ruined a lot of the structural timbers, luckily I had a supply of hardwood blanks stashed away that were suitable. What had originally been thought of as a rolling resto turned out to be a major tear down but it was worth it in the end  |

| Afraid not, we had this made by a local boatbuilder using the damaged original as a template. |

A beautiful job. I have an old Cheltenham Kudu I'm starting to renovate I hope it looks half as good as yours when finished. I'd like to pick your brains sometime if I can?
