@Renegadenemo I for one, and I believe many more, donated to the project to restore Bluebird to have her back in Coniston. That she could be restored to a point where she could run again was brilliant, and great for people to be able to see her on the water as well. I, like many donors I believe, feel betrayed. If you want to build a replica to entertain others, great. You and the team are no doubt very skilled and many will enjoy seeing a replica. Those of us who donated to see the genuine Bluebird restored and back in Coniston will also have a smile on our faces to see the genuine Bluebird back in her home in Coniston, but will continue to feel betrayed that our money has also gone to building a replica elsewhere. What a shame agreement has not been possible.
