First sight of the interior from last time I was on the boat.
The first of many dustbins full of old bits coming out of the boat and going in the skip of metal scrap bin
A small area of stringer with a small area of rot which needs cutting out and repairing
The hull planking as a area of rot which will removed when the planks are removed and the whole area is treated with fugal spore treatment to kill off any spore in the ribs or frames
The whole area of the hull above the starboard cupboard now exposed for the first time since Chance was build and now the air can get to the hull to help dry out the area
The galley sink is now removed and so is the upper cupboard so more of the hull is exposed to aid getting to the plank fixings so that she can be re-fixed the correct way with copper nails and roves and not just screwed together which appears to have been done on some of the planking that as be replaced over the years. 
The next three photos s show the galley upper cupboard being taken apart
My brother john aiding me with getting the interior ballast out of the bilge so the area can be cleaned and dried out and inspected
The next few photos showing the condition of the bilges once the ballast weights were mostly removed some of the remaining weights are in need of a bit more attention to get them out of where they are wedged in position
