I'm trying to track down Tai Shan's original builder/owner.
A few years ago his daughter attempted to contact me via Paul at Brighton Boat Sales. I I tried the number he passed on to me several times, but I think it was wrong as nobody ever answered, and I left multiple messages.
After three months of sanding and painting, replacing anodes and various seacocks, testing the rudder and bow thruster, Tai Shan is back in the water and I'm now working on the decks.
Everybody who has seen Tai Shan in the boat yard has been very enthusiastic and complimentary about the construction: the hull is very sound. After so many years on the water with minimal maintenance, we were impressed by how good the hull is.
As part of the renovation, I removed the name board on the transome and i won't be bolting it back on: I would love to rerturn the board to the builder / his family so any tips on getting in touch would be appreciated.
