The size of the task ahead of Simon and the family in restoring Mai Star II

Starting to make a start on removing the last bits of the sheer strake on the starboard side, once this is removed then can tackle the beam shelf and the lodging and hanging knees 



The top of the stem is in need of a bit of rebuilding as a bit of rot was found after the sheer strake was removed 




The small bits of sheer strake that were left behind when the rest was removed is now getting removed to expose the tops of the frames and ribs 





The port side is in need of the ribs refitting before much more of the shape is lost




The planks have moved more as the boat as been sitting out of the water, however, the planks will be moved back into position with props to realign the planks after the seams are cleared of old caulking and putty.



The port side is clear of all the sheer strake plank


The cabin is back up near to its correct position so that the new beams will have to be set with this caber when refitting the sheer strake and the carlins and side deck beams 



Major work needed on the transom, possibly a new transom coming this time round

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.
