After repairing the the hog and keel it was time to replace the broken ribs. As I had\u00a0the seats out and everything\u00a0stripped out of the boat I had a good look at all the ribs and found that the rear\u00a0full width ribs\u00a0 needed replacing along with a couple on the starboard side. So, after a quick call to Dennis at Dartmoor Hardwoods in Princetown I had enough oak to do the job and all the new ribs were steamed in and fixed in the copper rivits and roves.<\/p>\n

Once the new ribs were put in it was time to turn the boat over and strip off all the varnish. I took the boat\u00a0back to bare wood\u00a0and spent a happy couple of weeks applying 2 coats of UPC followed by about 14 coats of Schooner varnish. At least I think it was 14 coats…..I lost count toward the end.<\/p>\n

With the hull varnished it was time to sort out the interior, this was given\u00a07 coats of Le Tonkinois and the bildes treated to a few coats of bilge paint.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0decks were in a poor state, despite only having been replaced a few years ago, but they weren’t varnished underneath and\u00a0had weathered badly.\u00a0A trip\u00a0to\u00a0Robbins of Bristol was called for and I returned with a lovely sheet of Super Eclipse Mahogany Ply\u00a0with an excellent grain. All that need to happen now was to glue it to the decks beams using bags of sand and loads of clamps to secure it in place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nTo protect the\u00a0decks I had a new breathable cover made by R&J Sails in Clifton<\/em><\/p>\n

With the new ribs, the hull varnished inside and out and new decks fitted and varnished (another 14 coats I think) it was time to rig the boat and go sailing<\/p>\n

So with the boat nearly finished it’s time to go sailing<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
