Thank you to everyone who donated Unfortunately, following a survey of the boat, with the huge scale of the task and the shortage of volunteers, it's looking like we are going to have to face reality and let go of the dream of restoring Joan Dixon. All possible locations I have been able to find for moving BK92 to are dependant on a credible longterm commitment and/or sufficient funds. I will donate the funds I am holding to the NEMT and advise the boat's current owner and owners of the site.

Update 19th December. I've just come off the phone with a very knowledgeable gentleman at The Tall Ships Project. Joan Dixon is as feared, in a desperate state. We discussed several options, which i will pass on and then let everyone chip in at a meeting in January. I'll double check that JD can stay where she is until then. The Tall Ships Project have already been given a coble that they are restoring, so any work they do on Joan Dixon would have to be on a commercial basis.
