Liddesdale has new deck beams and new half bulkheads in Siberian larch. A new Keel band in 316 stainless and new stern tube, propshaft and skeg, all 316 stainless. She also has new sole boards made from quarter sawn douglas, tapered to suit. Originally these would have been cedar but we needed something harder wearing with regard to Liddesdale’s future use as a trip boat for the public. The rest of the fit out is all original, restored. The biggest triumph of this is probably the original fore and aft deck planks, painstakingly refitted by the very skilled Becci Haigh.
