Fantastic to see progress to date and to hear all the updates on the build. Also very happy to know that my donation will be doubled by the generous 1:1 match funding, plus of course, the Gift Aid. A £40 donation becomes £90 minimum. Fantastic.

Good luck everyone! This is just an amazing project, and I cannot wait to see the ship take to the water in 2023. She will be graceful, glorious and gladden the hearts of us all, I have no doubt, to see her in action.
