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.

In with the new!



I used what was left of the old rear bulkhead to mark out for the new one. Had to get a bit creative here with some fancy measuring!

I've used 9mm marine ply here, same as the hull. It's just loosely in place for now ready for the framework behind it to go in before glueing it all in and planing the top profile.
