Made a flying visit to harbour marine services to talk John Buckley the owner of the boatyard.

This is a 36ft. silverlette  currently at his boat yard.it ii 4 feet shortly than Chance. It,however, has many of same features on deck as Chance. A raised foredeck and a lower aft side and aft deck. 

Chance is in many ways similar to this James Silver. The largest difference being that Chance as a full size sailing rig not just steadying sails. The deck layout between the two boats is very similar in that they have both got the same number of deck hatches on both fore and aft decks in much the same position. 

The major other difference is that Chance has two sets of davits, one on the transom and the other set of davits on the port side along the aft cabin. From my research is was an option for the owner to have a tender for the crew and one for himself. The smaller tender to hang off the transom and the longer tender along the side. 

The other difference being that Chance has a bow davit for lifting the anchor onboard.

All these features will be refitted to Chance when the deck is relaid later in the restoration. In the meantime the work on the transom  will continue as we sort out the starboard side deck and the beam shelf and transon and rebuild these parts back they were build.
