While doing other jobs as part of the refit on this Hardy Bosun the wooden fender rails were found to be rotten below the upper part of the wooden fender rail. So with careful use of wooden wedges it was able to remove the upper part of the wooden fender rail.
It came off in more or less one piece apart a few places along the lower edge where the glue was still holding the two parts together.
However, the lower part was rotten and full of water and just fell to pieces when removing it from the side of the hull.
The forward end of the wooden fender rail is wet however, apart from that it is still sound.
