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.

Finally some new wood begins to appear! The cabin sections were cut out using as much of the old ones possible as templates. I used 12mm mahogany faced ply for this. As you can see the fore-deck has mostly been replaced with 6mm ply. I didn't worry about aesthetics here as the decks are going to be painted rather than varnished.
