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.

The new fore-deck finally gets glued down! It took quite a bit of sanding to fair it all in. The mahogany plank in the deck centre is a wee bit rough arond the edges, so I'll have to be a bit creative with a well matched filler! I do think that holes in boats look better when covered with wood!
