Model Sailing Boat
2ft. long, hollow wooden hull with remains of grey paint, cast lead keel
from Stumpo, Sanday
The boat was found in an outbuilding left on top of the threshing mill, probably forgotten for several decades. Up to the Millennium a traditional Sanday gathering was the annual boat race on Roos Loch held on New Years Day. Many fine boats were made at home by the islanders for this event.
