Mai Star II carlins being removed after being measured so that they can go back in position once the cabin sides are removed and so have the put the deck beams back in position without any cabin in the way

The original carlins are past their usable life and are being removed to make way for new carlins and beams that will be fitted in much the same way as the original parts. The only difference being that the tie rods will be made out of a nonferrous material  

The carlins beams position were all measured before they were removed so we know where they all go, so when rebuilding the deck structure they will all go back in the same position  

Both ends of the short beams that are fitted to the beam shelf are fitted with a half dovetail joint which is the way they are going to be refitted  

The wood on top of the beam shelf is all going to be replaced with new hardwood so that the deck beams and deck will have a good sized area to get fixed to when it time to relay the deck 

The forward part of the deck is good condition just needs to be faired up after the new top strakes are made and fitted
