Here are some video clips taken during the rebuild between January 1999 and May 2000 when the boat was finally splashed. Featured in the video are some of the key people who worked on the Queen Jane at Yachftish including John Barr and Mark Newbroke whom I owe my deepest gratitude for the work they did.
