I heard yesterday that Luke Powell's building of Scilly Pilot Cutters has come to an end at Gweek and there is no sign of his workshop having been there. All things change, but I used to love to watch the progress of each boat in construction and then to see them sailing. A friend lent me Luke's beautiful book Working Sail last month, I wish I could have kept it!
