Starting on rebuilding the centreboard case of Cornish Crabber

Mark out the distance from the cut on the centreboard case and then grown off the flowcoat and dirt from the case. So then will be able to mark off the gradient to make the  cleaned off area so that the lay up of the new CSM on the joint to rebuild to the original specification


A lot of grinding ahead  to make it ready to fibreglass it back in position 


Camper van repairs

Like boats you haveto start by taking the inside to pieces to get to the inside ofany repair


The damage on the outside is half above and half below so it means having to cut small inspection doorways in both areas 


The length of the repair is 


The panelling under the seat which have a hole cut in it to gain access to the inside of the damage 


The fore hatch now glued together and now its time for cured off

Final fitting and a screw in each of the corners and the gluing together 


Glued up and now it as to be left to cure and the cut the corners and the inside edge to the correct size and shape 


Then comes the fun bit fitting it to the curves on the deck
