Mai Star II restoration working on the port side

The port side forward where most of the damage as been over the years with broken ribs 




Now coming back along the hull to where the chain plates are situated is where the most of the damage and rotten frames are situated.  




The original toilet seacocks which are in good condition and will be serviced  later on in the restoration 





Once the frame was removed from its position it was found that the planking in one place was badly damaged and will need to have a new section of planking put in to replace the damaged plank 




The frame is in a very poor condition and will be put back in a better way so that it does not move and the planking will go back in its correct position 




The condition of the frames is not good at all






This plank joint will be moved when the new section of planking is replaced

Work done today on Mai Star II

Making patterns of the two foredeck lodging knees and inspecting the deck bems to see which of them can be salvaged and which need remaking.

The frame and inner hog repairs now done and now its time to make up and steam the ribs in place.
