After the week away in Woodplumpton on Chance it is back to Mai Star II

Now we have returned from Woodplumpton it is the turn of Mai Star II to get some of the work done to her.

One of the jobs that needs doing is to remove all the old copper nails from the beam shelf where the new ribs have to go in from above and behind the beam shelf and down to where the ribs fit on to the hog. 

So far we have to renew five ribs and one frame before we can move on along the port side and replace further ribs and frames on that side of the hull, then we can turn our attention to the starboard side and do the same to that side of the hull.

Once all the ribs and frames are either renewed or parts repaired, then we will turn our attention to the sheer strakes and the deck beams .

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.
