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.

Good Progress

Made a great discovery today..................the packing that protects sheets of marine ply in transit is perfect for making templates! It seems to be a kind of MDF, but it's quite sturdy, lightweight and extremely flexible.
Good job I didn't buy that sheet of hardboard after all!

Anyway, I got the templates cut out and tacked in place. Just got some "fine tuning" to do on them before using them to mark out the ply.
