This project was a change for Peter London whose main busi- - ness since basing in Sidney in the 70s has been building commer- cial boats for fishing.

The work involved a “total rebuild” of the 1922 cruiser, orig- inally built by Quint Williams, which started first with two skins of coal-moulded cedar for the hull, which needed strenghtening.

The identity of the owners of the Kay Dee IIT — who approached London through a representative — is being kept confidential and London himself has never met the owner.
