The deck beams are going back in and making the hull a lot less like a jelly mould and more like a hull in the early stages of restoration.

The deck beams are now screwed down in position with bronze screws rather than iron spikes as they were originally.

The forward two deck beams are now also fixed down in position and so the samson post top partner pad is ready to refix into position as well.

The new parts of the deck beams, namely the short cross beams which hold the forehatch base need a bit of leveling so that the new decking can lay flat across the deck beams.

The foredeck hatch base will need to be shaped on the bottom face so that it fits the deck camber before it is screwed in position with screws through the deck beams from below. 

These two plates are the hanging knees to connect the deck beams for the mast to the frames. They could be seen as a bit of an overkill. It was possibly done because after the Second World War the boatyard who build Mai Star II did not have any good grown oak to make up a pair of hanging knees. so they possibly had some steel plate in the boatyard so they use it to do the same job.
