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.

Room to breathe



There was a nasty damp problem in and around the cockpit area in the past, so I've cut a decent sized vent into the bulkhead.


This will be below the cockpit floor level and will allow the air to circulate more freely.


It also means that should any water find it's way into the lazarette locker, it will run straight into the cockpit bilge and not accumulate behind the bulkhead like before.
