Update on project Restoration of Mai Star II
After 9 months of not being able to get any work done on Mai Star II for various reasons which I will not go into on this forum. I have now been able to get my disabled son Michael involved in the restoration of Mai Star II. He as A.S.D. however, he is very passionate about get Mai Star II restored and is now heavily involved in the restoration of Mai Star II. Over the past week he as been able to remove all the seacocks out of the hull. He as also removed the portholes from the cabin sides and as with the help of me and a friend removed the cabin sides off the boat and into its individual parts ready to put away until they are ready to be put back on the boat after the hull and deck repairs are done.
Now that the seacocks and cabin sides are removed from the boat, the boats hull is now exposed so that the major work on the hull can work with an inspection of the beam shelf and the frames and ribs.
So now that we have Michael helping two days a week when it is possible for Michael to come to the boatyard, we should see more progress on the Mai Star II project over the coming months. Michael as already shown he is good with his tools I have given him to help him do the work on Mai Star II and always asks if he as a problem with a job and need to understand how to do the job correctly so that he will how to the job next time he has to do the job on Mai Star II when it comes to putting the part back on the boat later on in the restoration project.
So that Michael and I have taken these parts off Mai Star II over the past couple of days, it time for us to put them all in a safe place until they are needed to be put back on the boat later in the restoration process.
