Badgers' new lease of life has only been made possible through the generosity of public bodies and grant-making trusts, principally H. M. Customs and Excise and The Robertson Trust. Substantial contributions were also received from The Mathew Trust , The Tay Charitable Trust, The Alexander Moncur Trust and the St. Katharine's Fund, whilst our dedicated volunteers, some of whom are themselves trainees under the Taymara Project gave countless hours of their spare time towards the completion of this project. Not least, we appreciate the expertise and attention to detail, given to the installation of her engines by Davy Anderson and Cadge at David Anderson Marine, Newport on Tay, Fife.

Saturday - the antifouling's applied, bilges cleaned and painted, repairs to dings and dents in the hull are almost complete and await the final application of filler.

By popular demand - here's the other side of one engine. 2 oil filters? Cor. It must be good.

It's not just 2 engines we've got here - it's Marine Power and swords as well. Makes you proud to be British.
