Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Well I thought it might be time for an update,have skarfed port and starboard wiskey planks , port 450 mm back from the stem,starboard 600 back from the stem and replaced with maranti,8-1 skarf epoxy glued,and roved,next step make up a new breast hook and that has taken care of the rot caused by a leaky shed roof. Once the b/hook is fitted will start on the blunt end. Will take some pics when the b/hook is fitted.Also scored a patch of oringinal oxside red which i have had colour matched for latter reference.
Cheers

Fixing the planks was the easy part I am on my 3rd go at getting the breast Hook to fit with no gaps betwwen the planks and stem,this one looks like it could be a goer slow and steady as she goes

Keep plugging away at it mate. You will get there eventually.

Thanks for the encouragement but I brought the little women a new plane yesterday which has made a big difference

Your wife's new toy, is it a Cessna or Stanley?

yes Doc a nice new stanley for her birthday

Ahoy All, well breast hook looking good,just thought that it was a stem support DuH but realized before the new stanley took too much off that it sets your deck hight as well so all is good
cheers peter

Aaah, Tommo...I had no idea what a breast hook was so I googled it....


If you use that on your old lady, then I'd hate to imagine what she's going to do to you with her new plane

ARR Hookster ya got to watch that google it will always give you the American version

God ! Here i was thinking a Breast Hook was some kind of bedroom aid. !!!!!!
