Ullapool Fish Week |
|
| Boatbuilding Project 2005 | |
 |
Ullapool Fish Week 2005 sees another exciting boat project in the
form of a project being undertaken again by Ullapool
Boatbuilders. Witness the final
touches being put to the Jubilee - a Sgoth belonging to Ness
Historical Society, Isle of Lewis. We also hope to have two other Sgoths in Ullapool during Fish Week - the An Sulaire from Stornoway and the Oigh Niseach from Raasay, along with the Loch Fyne Skiff - The Clan Gordon. Image Copyright Sam Maynard 2004 One of the highlights of Ullapool Fish Week 2004 was the launching of the community boat "Wee Hector" . With best wishes sent from the community in Pictou, Nova Scotia and thoughts of the original Hector which sailed from these shores, the Wee Hector was lowered into Loch broom, cheered on by a huge crowd of well-wishers. The photos below show various stages of her build by Ullapool Boatbuilders and also photos from her launch and maiden sail! |

Wee Hector has been sailed in Loch Broom over the summer and has also been on display at various boat shows around the UK, helping to promote the area. She will also play a large part in Ullapool Fish Week 2005 and we look forward to seeing her on the water again. |
