As Alan Conway, TEXO Brand Executive explains,
Blyth Tall Ship entered the TEXO Challenge competition seeking support in constructing a wooden sailing vessel, a project driven by volunteers and young apprentices from the Blyth Community. As the vessel’s weight began to exceed the capacity of the wooden timbers supporting it in their workshop, our challenge was to fabricate stools and a small grillage which the base of the ship could sit. TEXO also created specialised brackets for the sailing vessel, and we are providing the labour needed to install the metal grillage, allowing the build to continue over the next year. We’re proud to support this community-driven initiative and contribute to the construction of this remarkable vessel.”
