Having cleaned & compounded the wheelhouse it was time to highlight the necessary repairs and make a start on refitting the new rubbing strake

Having cleaned down the wheelhouse sides and roof and then compounded the sides and roof it highlighted the areas where it needs repairs doing to it before it can be refitted to the boat.

Some of the repairs are where fittings have been moved and have been repaired in the past.


Some of the areas are where gazing as been caused from fitting and other from bolting down too hard in the wrong place


A few repairs are where the edges have got chipped 



Here is a large stargaze caused by a foreign body not being removed before the roof was bolted down on to the wheelhouse sides


A drill hole for no reason


Starting to fit the new rubbing strake to the starboard side. Just got to get my steam box out and put the rubbing strake in the steam box to make it flexible to be clamped round the hull to bend to the correct shape.
