In total the Underfall Yard Trust says it needs to raise \u00a3100,000 to meet “modern boatbuilding needs” and improve its community engagement by creating a dedicated community space. <\/p>\n
It’s hoped \u00a310,000 will be raised this week alone (December 2-9), which will be matched by donations from Seetru, Reed Foundation and Wring Group Limited.<\/p>\n
Sarah Murray, Director of Underfall Yard Trust said: “Rebuilding Underfall Yard brings the buildings we know and love back to Bristol but, more than that, it is about what happens in the buildings. <\/p>\n
“Traditional boatbuilding and maritime skills will once again be at the heart of the yard.<\/p>\n
“We know how much the yard means to the people of Bristol and beyond; we want nothing more than to be back to full strength as a working boatyard where visitors can see, hear and smell boatbuilding in action.”<\/p>\n
Since the fire two years ago, the Shipwrights’ building has already been rebuilt, with boatbuilding firm Star Yachts back at the Yard. <\/p>\n
The site’s visitor centre re-opened to the public in 2024.<\/p>\n
Rebuilding the whole of the 19th Century site has been estimated to cost \u00a32.6m. <\/p>\n
