Student Boat Launch - Lyme Regis Harbour
(Students, many who had never picked up a chisel before, and come from
all
different backgrounds are launching their very impressive boats into
Lyme
Regis Harbour. All are very welcome. The boats built on each course are
walked in procession down to the sea and launched with due ceremony into
Lyme Regis harbour. It is a joyful and inspiring celebration of the end
of
the course and the beginning of each student?s new life as a qualified
boat
builder.)
