New hope for Bluebird K7

There’s another attempt to get lottery funding for the restoration of Bluebird K7, raised from Coniston water. I hope they do get the money, it would be a fantastic memorial to Campbell to have his boat in pristine condition

I know they say the ship should stay with the captain – but someone was determined to raise Bluebird, and they did.

I just hope she can be looked after in a fitting exhibition, and that the money can come from lottery funding.

I hope Gina isn’t forced to put Bluebird on ebay – the only thing I could hope from that would be someone would pay a cracking price for it – then give it back!

Any coincidence that it was 39 years ago today…?

Best of luck to them with this bid.
An emotive subject but I’d like to see Bluebird K7 in all her finery.
