The project boat is coming on well, then the the old ribs have been removed and the hull as been cleaned up of old paint and dirt under where the old ribs were. Just got to take the old bilge keels off and the it will be time to steam and refit the new ribs and then remove the two spilt planks on the turn of the bilge.
Here is the oak to make the new ribs for the restoration boat and also the keel and ribs for the new boat being build by J-Star Boat Services over the next few months
