Major clean out and able to see the hull and know how much work is needed in the ends of the boat

As I said last night I would post the before and aft photos of the fore cabin 

Firstly the before phot

The pile of rotten and damaged panelling 

The after photo with the panelling gone and the gull able to air circulating round the inside of the hull for the first in over 20 years  

The next area to get the wood work removed to get air to the hull 

The aft cabin has had the berth removed to find the old position of the original berth design behind the more modern athwartships berth which is not the one Chance was built with in 1948  

The original framework and paint work showing how it was originally made up 

Major rebuilding needed in the aft end with a completely mew transom to be made and deck repairs needed for the davits can be placed on their original position
