Week 9-10

Old keel bolts are removed and the old holes are filled with dowels and thickened epoxy




The view from the bottom



All the keel bolt holes filled in



With the nice weather over the last two weeks, I was able to begin priming the floorboards



The hood ends are repaired and re fastened



Rudder repairs are underway. Here, two dowels are glued into the broken off piece



And here the broken piece is glued back onto the rudder.




The rudder is scraped and sanded.



The tiller is sanded and sealed



Here is a new cap rail section with the female oar lock fitting chiseled out



Here is the cap rail repair installed.



John Stanton and Shouldered Oar Films comes by the shop to interview Captain Connor for their documentary film.



New pine sole beams are cut to fit.
