The plank work continues. The dark stripe is where the previous owner had fixed an external timber strap (one of five on the boat) to repair a split plank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A small amount of rot was also found in the stem

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deck framing refixed with epoxy adhesive and screws.  Now to work out what to finish the the inside of the hull with, considering the original colour on the ribs and planks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inside finish now on and engine rails and cross members installed
