    I've put a number of photos of the replica boat (Husky Clipper) being built up on my Instagram page. Multiple posts each with multiple photos.

    Boats built by Richmond Bridge Boat Builders, London. Mark Edwards, Bill Colley and team.

    I had a minor role assisting with the skins of the boats. Fascinating stuff and learned a lot.

    Will have a blog post on my website soon.

    IMO the movie is a very poor adaptation of the book. Much of the story about Joe Rantz has been omitted.
