Restoration

2005 We start the restoration by gutting the interior and pulling the mast and spars. The boat is put ashore for several new planks and frames. Parts of the rig are cleaned up, a new topmast is built and the deck is stripped of its hardware.

 

 


2006 The companionway hatch and skylight are restored, a new mainboom is built and wood for a new deck and deckbeams is squirrelled-away. The old deck is removed and a new aft counter is constructed.

 


2007 New deckbeams are shaped and installed with new knightheads, breasthook, and ruddertrunk. The gimballed table and companionway are restored and a new ceiling is installed.

         

 


2008 Carlines, bulkheads, and a new cockpit are finished. The forward hatch is restored and covering boards and stanchions are fastened.

 


2009 A new deck, new bulwarks, and the mast is stepped.

 

 


2010 A new interior
