Today we talk with the three most active members of the Yvonne 97 syndicate.

Chris Clapp, Roger Dundas and Ant Perri discuss the restoration of Port Phillip's famous Tumlaren. And like so many of the best wooden boat stories, its not really about the craft, its more about the people, the friendships and the philosophies embedded into the project. Sit back, enjoy, and hopefully be inspired.
