 We gratefully acknowledge that repair and upgrade work from 2005 through 2009 was largely completed at Chantier Fluvial de Migennes, under the expert supervision and management of the late Jo Parfitt. In those years, you could not find a better boatyard. Sadly, Jo has died, and the boatyard has now passed into other very capable hands. Our many thanks to Jo's old team of Jeff, and Marc, and Sally, and Dor, wherever they are now: we look forward to meeting them again. In later years, we have equally enjoyed the expert knowledge and work of Iain and Karen Noble at the Capitainerie in Moissac and offer them our grateful thanks. The costs noted below are for parts only: no labour charges have been included.
