Busy Thursday under at the boatyard


Having cut to shape it was time to plane the rebates on the top and bottom edge front and rear  before dry fitting the plaqnk  


Steaming the gunwales on the opposite side top plank while working on the replacement plank 


Fitting the new replacement plank using traditional clamps  


final positioning of the plank before nailing and clinching in position  


Mai-Star I dinghy ready to get its new gunwales and rubbing strakes


Starboard side done 


 Then the port side is done 


Looking a lot better and the top edge of the dinghy is a lot less flexible




Jasmine back from the riggers and now ready to go to its new home on a lake near London.
