We're back to work, after the festivities, I've replaced a section of the gunwale (the upper edge of the hull) on the port side. It's the odd coloured section, halfway along the side of the boat, painted in grey primer.
It is a 6"x3" piece of timber runs along the edge of the deck, and takes all of life's knocks and scrapes, I've replaced this bit because it had been badly repaired, and I'm about to fit the second water tank, blocking access to the its fixings.
Dad has come to help this weekend, and has been sanding and painting the sides of the aft deck.

Happy new year

I've been a bit busy recently, but I have been chipping away in between the mince pies.
Having removed the old galley, I've been sorting out the woodwork that was behind the fridge. The timber where the hull meets the deck needed a section replacing, In the first picture I've cut it out ready to put in new wood


And here's the new wood in position
