Sundowner Restoration: Dunkirk Little Ship – Dunkirk Original In this video, Steve Dennett from Michael Dennett Boat Builders takes us through the next steps in my restoration—bringing me back to how I was when I set sail for Dunkirk in 1940. Restoring a historic vessel like me isn’t just about repairs—it’s about preserving authenticity. Steve explains how they are using traditional materials and techniques to ensure I remain true to my original structure. From my deck beams to my hull, every plank and rivet is carefully considered to match how I looked when Charles Lightoller took me across the Channel to rescue over 130 men during Operation Dynamo. 🔹 What You’ll See in This Episode: ✔️ The plan to return me to my original 1940 design ✔️ Traditional craftsmanship and materials being used ✔️ Insights into my deck, hull, and structural restoration ✔️ Steve Dennett explaining the challenges of restoring history Help Me Sail Again – Sponsor a Part of My Restoration Thanks to incredible support, my exterior is well on its way to being fully rebuilt, but now I need your help to bring my heart back to life—my engine. Without it, I can’t make the journey across the Channel for the 85th anniversary of Dunkirk in May 2025. We’ve launched the Sponsor a Part campaign, starting with the engine, to fund the essential parts needed to complete my restoration. Whether it’s a bolt, a beam, or a vital engine component, every contribution helps me take one step closer to sailing again.
