MASB 27 leaves her long time mud berth at Swanwick. She was towed to Premier Marinas lift out in Swanwick, Southampton recently then lifted onto a road trailer for the trip to Watchet, Somerset. She will join the slowly
increasing fleet of the Child's family, located in Watchet.
Pictured here, Paul Childs, Owen and Simon. Another image of the lift. More can be seen from Here

I see that Owen Childs has posted some very interesting photos of the progress with the restoration of MASB 27. They can be seen HERE
