We had hoped to have Boleh back in the water and fit for purpose in September so that the Portsmouth Sail Training Trust (PSTT), our sister charity who will be taking Boleh on as a sail training vessel, could get the feel of her before the end of this sailing season. In the event technical headwinds have slowed progress and Boleh will not now be fully operational in her new role until the 2015 season. Despite this set back, the high quality restoration continues and PSTT have still been able to start developing sail training programmes for local children using vessels generously provideded for the day. The Boleh Trustees met at the beginning of the month to review the situation and are confident that Project Boleh remains on course for a successful completion.
