Our original budget was £100,000 for the Tug & Butty. When we changed contracts to a normal wide beam in February 2008, the contract changed to a sailaway plus (£90,000 to Simpsons & £10,000 to complete it ourselves). When Simpsons went into administration we lost the £11,000 payment + the engine being taken back £6000 and the inverter which was neither never ordered or stolen £3000.  We paid £46,000 in total, loosing £20,000, so our remaining budget will be £54,000. 

We know, not a lot of money!
