After the 17th of May I will going up to Chance's and making a further inspection of the boat to then plan the next steps in the Restoration of her. Having worked on her in the past the boat is known to me. Then part of the Starboard side of the hull as been planked with Mahogany as was the hull when it was first build. The main task this time is to remove the rotten and damage on the port side. This was the side that did not get done before. However, it needs some major work this work.

First job when I get to the boat is take lots of photos of the boat has it is now.

Mark off the areas of the hull that need replacing and to what extent the work needs to go to remove all the rotten wood.

Cover up all the windows where there is no glass in the wheelhouse and make it weather tight and the same with the cabin, then get a cover to cover the whole boat while I get chance to build a temporary shed over the boat

Make a start on removing as much of the interior to gain access to the inside of the hull to get to the hull to repair or replace any major parts such as fuel and water tanks, fuel lines and electrical cabling.

List all the parts as they are removed and then put them into storage until they are either repaired or renew when that part of the boat is worked on in the future.

After I come back I will post a video and photos on my you tube channel to show the task ahead of my family and friends and myself over the coming couple of years.
