The story of the Flying Ferkins and how she got her name. Andrew's Dad had a speed boat which he called The Flying Ferkins and Andrew gave the name Flying Ferkins, with the generous support of Guy, to this amazing boat in memory of his father.

Very interesting to hear all about the Ferkin. You are continuing to do brilliantly. At least you are not on the Centre Court at Wimbledon which apparently reached 105f during last week!! The forecast is for a heatwave this coming week too! Keep going as we are all still willing you on. Jenny & Peter

Hi guys, have caught up with you "online" finally, although Claire keeps us very up to date with progress etc. You are doing so well - and we're still in awe of you. Was trying to imagine what days of seeing nothing but sea is like...but couldn't! But it seems like you're making such good progress that you'll be back on dry land before you know it - and yes, with a massive shopping list! Just a note on the boat and its name - can only imagine how proud your dad would be of you Andrew, indeed both of you. The name is a fine testament to both him, and your courage, skill and determination. Keep it up, we're all still right behind you. Sue & Geoff

Thank you for the kind words about your boat. We are all following your progress here at the yard. We are proud that you are doing the boat we worked so hard on justice! Your trials and tribulations give us plenty to discuss. Keep up the great work and we look forward to getting your comprehensive feed back on the boat when you arrive back in Blighty. Cris
