Another busy week get through jobs

The ongoing repairs to the bottom of this speed boat are coming along and have now got back to the end of the rotten wood and now can start to rebuild the interior bulkheads and then replace the bottom 

The first stage is to cut back a distance to lay the first pieces of hull laminates while there is nothing in the way to make the job easier

The starboard side is still in need of work to get to the end of the rot as there is one place that it as traveled further along the bottom 

Another job that is getting done is to reinforce the transom where the rotten wood was the worse

Other projects underway in the yard

A small dinghy in need of a new centreboard case 

A Cornish Crabber now on a trailer and ready to come into the workshop once the boat in the workshop is ready to come out and get underway with its rebuild

The wooden speedboat now finishing off the cut outs for the new hull panels to get glued in position once the area is cleaned up and made ready for the surfaces to glued. 

Continuing work on the interior of the Morgan Giles 30

The Finesse 24 final deck fittings going back on

The pulpit and pushpit and the stanchion bases 

The windlass now bolted back on the foredeck 

The cleats and fairleads at both ends of the boat now refitted 

Just got to put bolts through the winch base spacer blocks and then the winches will be fitted 

Starting the rebuilding of the bottom and transom of the wooden speed boat

Rebuilding the transom and bottom of this 1960's speedboat for a local client

New panel for ther transom and the fore and aft bulkhead 

Once these are made to fit they will be glassed in with epoxy and matting and then can start to re skin the hull again

A long job, however, well worth doing as this is the only rot in the hull.

The Morgan Giles 30 bottom now finished apart from the patches under the legs of the cradle

The final coats of Gelshield 200 done on the bottom, that is one big job completed 

Just got to do the patches under the legs of the cradle when it is moved outside
