The Helen 11 is a wooden fishing boat, known as a Nobby, built in 1910 and in need of full restoration She is being rebuilt on the quay at Conwy using traditional methods and incorporating young students from Llandrillo College’s associated training courses, under the supervision of skilled craftsmen. The work is open to visitors to see and we also have local volunteers who are involved. When finished Helen will be used to take girls and boys from all backgrounds and abilities to experience traditional sailing and see our marine life in a boat that was built for speed and safety. They will be able to understand that one needs to rely on other members of the team to safely master the sea and tides. Trustees and Volunteers alike are passionate to keep our maritime history alive and encourage young people to become involved.
