Funding the rebuild of a small ship is an expensive undertaking. Even though the M & S Lifeboat is on the national historic ships register as she is an important part of the UK / Isle of man's national heritage getting funding is very difficult. So far I have invested over £100k of my own money, possible more than the vessel will ever be worth (some things are not about money). A number of companies have kindly sponsored us with free materials, this still will not be enough.
We are therefore going to try crowd funding to help us complete our work, this will also allow us to share more of our skills with volunteers and students. Any help you can give hower small would be very much appreciated.
