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.

New Bridge-Deck



I got he cockpit floorboards finished today. All that remains is to fit four brass lift-rings for access to the stowage beneath. (and paint of course).


I also fitted the new Bridge-Deck. I've still got to adjust the ends once the coamings go on, but as you can see from the picture it'll look great when it's varnished up.


I used 12mm ply for the floorboards and they remain a loose fit to allow easy access to the cockpit bilge/stowage space.


For the Bridge-Deck I cut a piece of 9mm ply out of the same sheet as the bulkhead. This will be glued and tacked into place.
