The Turning

After working on the boat eight days in a row we finally finished the planking and got her turned over.

Back In The Saddle Again

Progress came to a standstill over summer. We did a little work in May and now we’re really going for it. We got scared when we realised another summer was coming and we could again be on the shore watching.

Before summer we managed to get those difficult bow planks on. Big windlasses and 10mm threaded rod (even some of that got stripped) where how we coped with it.

Since then we’ve been working our way through the planks. We’re on the top one with just the forward section on either side to go. Then we’ll be turning her over to work on the bottom.
