Short half deck beams and the amount of wasting on some of the nails on Mai Star II

The side deck half deck beams now out of the boat and labelled up. Keeping these as patterns for the new deck beams 

Looking a bit worse for weather, however, they have been in place for over 70 years, so they done their job.


They were half dovetailed into the carlin and the top of the beam shelf. 


All the dovetails were different, however, when they go back in they will be either the same as each other or as close to it as possible 



One of the frame nails that came out of the boat, this is the worse nail, However, seeing as this is going to be a major restoration of the boat, there is going to be a drawing of  a number of other frame nails to see if it is the same all over the hull.
