3174 is now in my "N12 Family" a sister ship to 2123 currently getting near to finishing my 12 month rebuild. 3174 has a few problems and will take some serious effort and a few quid to put her back on the water and I am still contemplating whether to take the plunge or not? Got a little while to decide Nov 5 th is a few weeks away yet!!:-/
Unfortunately dear old Doris could not be saved as she had severe rot in most of the floor and with the damage to the decks and gunwales was sadly beyond economic repair. I have all the fittings, centreboard, rudder and stock mast and boom going cheap if anyone wants them.
