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.

Inside

The interior will get a complete re-gloss and some new floor boards. I'll make these from 12mm ply as the old versions were really flimsy! I've decided to build in a little galley on the port side. I hope to work it out so that the lid/cover will double up as a handy little chart table. I intend to relocate the port bunk to a quarter-berth under the port cockpit locker. Apparently this was a build option on the original boats by Hurley Marine.
