The other work on the hull that needs a great deal of attention over the next few months to stabilise the hull of Mai Star II

One of the major problems with Mai Star II is her transom which is in need of replacing as there is more damage than would be practical to repair, therefore, it would be a better idea to replace the whole of the transom. 


The beam shelf on the starboard side is in reasonably good condition apart from the tops of the frames that need new section fitting on the them to make it possible to fix the sheer plank to them when the plank is fitted.


The port side beam shelf is not in such good condition and will need replacing as part of the restoration of the hull.


The whole of the transom area is in a great deal of attention and will have to be replaced.


This photo shows the ribs are missing as well as the port side frame which will be made up and refitted in this area so that the hull can be brought back into shape once more.


Damage to the planking will have the areas have pieces cut out and bit glued in place and then planed and sanded back to make good the areas.

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.
