PWVA Activities

Polly Woodside Maintenance

The key role of the PWVA is to maintain the Polly Woodside, which, as may be imagined, is an ongoing activity. Volunteers with experience in the maintenance of tall ships are few and far between, and as the years roll by are becoming increasingly rare. On 3 April 2008 we lost Tor Lindqvist, an outstanding volunteer who was one of the last 'Cape Horners', and our foreman rigger and sail-maker during the vessel's refurbishment.

Please see our recent Newsletters for more on how you can help the ship.
