Encouraged by a world-wide movement towards restoring classic vessels and returning them to service, the Trust decided to buy her. They needed to act fast, or she would become derelict. So they pitched in together and bought her for $2,000. Restoration The restoration of the ‘Kate’ has been a six year (so far) labour of love with steady milestones along the way. The bulk of the work has been undertaken by Bernard with the help of apprentices Tom and Joe Foster-Christie who were teens when they started. Much work and supplies have been donated over the years, with periodic fundraising drives injecting needed cash. The restoration now needs $45,000 to get the boat survey ready and there is a givealittle webpage for anyone wishing to donate. Marine artist David Barker has painted a depiction of the 'Kate' under sail with her youth crew to help with fundraising. A limited run of 100 prints of the painting have been made available for $225 each. Once all prints are sold a drawing will be held and the winner will receive the original framed oil painting.
