Hopes to move Peggy next week

by isleofman.com 28th January 2015
It's hoped another attempt to move the world's oldest yacht can be made next week.
Manx National Heritage workers and specialist contractors were hoping to crane the "Peggy" out of the Nautical Museum in Castletown today (Wed) so she could be transported to a purpose-bought building to allow urgent conservation work to get underway.
But the move was delayed because of high winds.
Director of Manx National Heritage, Edmund Southworth, says they're now anxiously looking at the weather forecasts and keeping fingers crossed.
Once the conservation work does get underway, it's expected to take around 5 years.
