Thursday 12th February - Re-building the Tomboy
Mc Loughlin Boats in Tramore have rebuilt a number of Water Wags over the last few years. They are also rebuilding Sinloo of Arklow for a Club member.
The lastest Wag to be rebuilt is Tomboy. Originally build in 1902, Tomboy has been in the ownership of the Geoghegan family for many years.
As much of the original boat as possible has been retained to preserve originality. The quality of the workmanship on this project is exceptional.
Michael Mc Loughlin will be bringing Tomboy to the Royal Irish on February 12th and will give a talk on the restoration of the boat.
The talk will take place in the Wet Bar and Michael will be using the boat to illustrate many of the aspects of the rebuild.
This is an evening not to be missed by wooden boat enthusiasts, Wag sailors and anyone interested in excellent craftsmanship.
