Time to remove the upper deck which is in need of renewing as parts are rotten

The first part of the job is to take out the sections between the beams 

Then take out the pieces over the beams 

Starting to remove the old plywood off the top of the cabin sides and the deck beams, it is a bit heavy going as the plywood is held down with 2" wire nails, so they are difficult to extract.

Halfway along the job, now on the way up the port side and then take the fore hatch and its base off and the mast tabernacle as well 

The major bit of rot in the cabin side and the short deck beams and the main deck beam at the front of the sliding hatch Which will need replacing
