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. PLEASE READ FROM THE BOTTOM UP and feel free to leave comments!(More info on Silhouette's can be found at www.soia.org.uk) ***PLEASE READ FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE BLOG UPWARDS!***
I originally planned to use 12mm ply for the coach-roof, however this proved virtually impossible to bend. So I've resorted to using 4 sheets of 6mm ply (2 each side) which will be Laminated together with Cascamite glue. Thanks to Will on the SOIA forum for that tip! So far it seems to be working well.
