Curlew II is a stunning vessel from an era where strength and quality were not compromised. She is an excellence and a fine example of British Ship Building.
Most recently she was used as a leisure fishing vessel until June 2020 she now sits on a tidal mooring. Since August the hull has been stripped back to bare wood, some areas of caulking have been repaired using traditional boat building techniques cotton caulking and red lead putty. The hull has 6 layers of aluminium oxide primer, two layers of Teamac light primer and 4 coats off Teamac top coat. The none slip walkways on the superstructure have had new non slip resin coatings applied. There is a small area on the gunwales which needs finishing off and there is a small leak which is kept at bay by 3 automatic bilge pumps which are battery operated with new batteries and charged by solar panels. She has a connection for 240V Shore power.
