We have just got word that Benjamin Handley is now fully painted and the windows are fitted. In short, she is ready for the water and internal fit-out. When that is happening has still to be decided on, it will mainly depend on arranging the transport to get the boat over to Sleaford. Watch this space for further news. Eventually, there will be an official naming ceremony but, I promise, there will be no bottles of fizzy stuff broken on the side of the hull. We wouldn’t want to damage the paintwork and, in any case, it’s a total waste of drink. We’ll toast the boat’s health instead!
