Fergal Butler from Balrothery has little time to spare since he is the full-time carer for his eight-year-old son Kyle, who has cerebral palsy, and his wife Lynda, who suffers from multiple sclerosis. However in what time he did have he fulfilled a dream by constructing in his back garden his own powerboat from scrap wood and parts bought on eBay. Last week Fergal launched his vessel at Skerries Harbour just over a year after beginning the construction work. The Powerboat Club provided a support vessel just in case of problems, but the launch was perfect and now Fergal has been invited to bring the vessel to a boat show in Cardiff.
