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.

What a difference some paint makes!

I've had to move out of my shed for a couple of weeks!! I took the opportunity today in the sunshine to peel back the cover and apply a coat of primer to the new wood on the fore-deck. When the weather permits, I'll drag the cover off to sand, fair and prime the decks all the way round while she's outside. That way I'm not just looking glumly at a big green tarpaulin! What a differesne a touch of paint makes, though!
