Work has been progressing steadily.
Left- last check of the templates before cutting the wood.
Below- roughing out the horn timber that will eventually notch into the keel.
Far left- boring the holes for the keel bolts. The prop shaft log will sit on top of the keel.
To keep the structural integrity of the yacht some items need to be remade as near to original as possible. Here is a good example where we've had two new wrought iron floors made, the originals having rotted away under the concrete ballast in the bilges.
