Dennis Skillicorn visits Cowes, the yachtsman's Mecca. Here, he meets Harry Spencer who is recognised world-wide as an expert on yacht rigging. Harry's also an expert on the old sailing ships and in his yard at Thetis Wharf he shows Dennis the work that goes into making the wooden masts, spars and blocks for the restoration of such famous ships as Discovery and Great Britain.
A few miles away, at Wootton Creek, Dennis visits Jack Whitehead and Norman Caches , two men who have discovered a demand for their skill as wood-carvers in another area of ship restoration, the making of figure-heads.
