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. PLEASE READ FROM THE BOTTOM UP and feel free to leave comments!(More info on Silhouette's can be found at www.soia.org.uk) ***PLEASE READ FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE BLOG UPWARDS!***

Cabin window




The port cabin window is now fitted. It will be re-seated onto a bead of silicone after the cabin etc get varnished.


It's important not to tighten the screws fully down onto the wood once the sealant is in place. This could cause the Perspex to shatter around the screw holes when the boat flexes.
