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.

Double Thickness



As per the original plans, the cockpit coamings are double the thickness of the cabin sides i.e. 18mm. I made up an exact template of very thin cheap grade ply and used this to cut the two coamings exactly to size.


They'll be laminated together in-situ to hold their shape. I've left the after ends a bit long as they'll need to be trimmed to fit the rear coaming.
