The very thought of doing this today would probably result in someone in Cambridge popping a blood vessel. As it was we enjoyed the adventure and then worried about what might have happened in bed at night (well I did anyway - maybe I was just a wuss).
In 2007 Coronation is considered to be out of the range of Signy boats and so a trip there is no longer possible, the hut at Shingle cove with its supplies has been removed for some official reason, but probably mainly just in case someone gives it a go.
I don't know what boats Signy currently has, but I bet they are a lot more sea-worthy than this underpowered, leaky dinghy that people would take over occasionally on a calm day.

Antarctica and allowed them to be made into a commemorative cd
