Some of you will know that a couple of Bartons ago, I started thinking about what features would make a good small low-powered outboard skiff - and that I called my answer the Barton skiff.
Well, the boat is currently in build by a couple of chaps, the most advanced of which is Brian King over in Pembrokeshire. See more here:

Meanwhile, it now looks as if I'll be able to get over to the latter part of the Barton weekend this year, though I'm not sure if I'll be able to bring a boat myself.
