Re-building the Dewdrop

This is the story of the "Dewdrop" (previously "Kathleen-Charlotte"). She's a Wooden Silhouette MK II, designed by Robert Tucker and built by Hurley Yachts of Plymouth in 1960. She was literally saved from the bonfire November 2006 and was given to me as a project.

Cockpit Lockers

The new cockpit lockers are now in place. Again I've used 12mm ply here. The starboard locker will have a hinged lid on it. The port will be sealed as there will be a bunk underneath. The bridge-deck is sound and I believe it will sand back so I have'nt replaced it. One thing I did notice in the cockpit is that because the cockpit does'nt drain away, there's a ventilation problem under the floorboards. I had some damp going on there(smelly too!). I've therefore decided to make a duckboard (probably from teak) to alleviate this.
