I finally found a period little clinker dinghy, 12ft and watertight as it was still on a mooring, it came up for sale with a modern 15hp Yam, when I asked if he would sell the boat separately the seller told me all the money was for the motor and the boat I could have for £80 and he knew someone selling a trailer for £50, the deal was done without a haggle. When I got home I had a really good look around her and found no damage or rot, all she really needs is a really good sanding and varnishing, will look nice with a seagull on the back

My only concern is that I know relatively little about clinker boats apart from the basics, can anyone recommend a good book on restoring and looking after these boats? Thank you.
