Restoration of the classic 1930's yacht Gadfly II/Mai Star II

https://youtu.be/tf1xr-ajwzg   A walk round Mai Star II of a sunny Friday evening showing off the work that my apprentice as done on the inside of Mai Star II and the further challenges he and I have when we start on leveling and taking the twist out of the hull, which can be seen from the plump lines at both ends the aft is not so badly out of level however, the stem is almost an one and a half inches out of level. So there is going to be a lot of shores and braces put on the hull in different places to pull out the twist before any work can start on refitting the deck beams andany of major work to the hull and deck and in time refitting the cabin sides and roof..

Although the outside is not been started on yet the main body of work as been on the inside repairing and replacing rotten and broken frames and floors.   The outside as been sanded back ready for work ro start on this part of the hull once the work on the inside and the deck is completed The inside looking a lot better now that te first coat of primer as been applied to the plank above the bilge line. The next job will be to keep applying more coats of primer until the wood starts to turn to a uniform colour  and then the undercoat will then be applied.  Another job will be to fit the floor bearers back in the lower part of the hull and so we can walk and work on the inside easier. The inside is now changing for the better and will soon be putting back the deck beams and the top planks again now the that the frames are done and we can fit the three missing ribs shortly.
