Starting to remove all the deck fittings on the latest Finesse 24 in for a new deck

First job to get the Rubbing strakes off the top plank 

Final got to the end of the rubbing strakes 

The stanchion bases and their wedges and the Genoa tracks 

The pushpit and pulpit and the Mainsheet horse 

Now it is the turn of the U-Bolts in the deck 

The quadrants off and then we will be ready to get the deck off 

Another Finesse 24 in for a new deck and top plank repairs and another old Westerly 25 in for a few general repairs

The next Finesse 24 in for a new deck just being off loaded to start on the deck removal

This deck as not been off since it was build as seen by the old sealant left on the rubbing strakes and the top of the hull planking 

First area of rot, now after doing a couple of Finesses's it appears to be an area which is to rot

The extent of the rot appears to be the deck the plank and the back face of the gunwale 

An old Westerly 25 in for a few general repairs before going back on the water for the season  

The new rope fender on single highhandedly as it was when they were put on in Hardy Marine

The first thing you have o do is run lengths of 4 mm light line to 2 ft lengths and put them through the lacing eyes on the hull 

Then put them through the centre of the rope fender and tie them off 

The tension up the rope fender around the transom 

Then tie off the ends with more light line and the job is finished apart of cutting off the ends of the lines and sealing them off

One of the reasons for the windows leaking and the new perspex windows and rubber surrounds being fitted.

The windows and rubber surrounds that were removed leaked was because they were only sealed along the top edge. As seen in the first three photos. This is not the way they came out of Hardy Marine as the colour of the sealant is wrong, as it was black sealant that was put in the windows.

The last three windows fitted and now needs the sealant and insert fitted to finish the job off and ensure the windows are sealed.

The finesse 21 back in its home marina and looking good after the deck was renewed
