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.

Making plywood patterns of the to foredeck lodging knees which are on either side of the deck beam which holds the samson post deck plate


Having sorted out the deck beams from the other deck bits it was time to inspect which can be salvaged and which will need to be remade using laminated oak to make up the new deck beams.


Many of the deck beams are in reasonable condition. while others are a mess with bits missing off the ends and others rotten in place.


The deck beam in the middle is completely shot and the only thing that can be used for is a pattern.


The other deck parts such as carlins and coamings are under bench until we get round to making new bits later.

All the varnished parts are under a cover until we are ready to work on them.
