Fabulous film treatment by Canadian documentary film maker Tobi Elliott on the joy of restoring a beautiful, old and interesting yacht: Dorothy, designed by G.L. Watson contemporary, Linton Hope, in 1897.

[Update 17 November 2014: Interesting illustrated discussion on classic yacht restoration/ rebuild conundrums at Tobi Elliot’s Dorothy blog.]
