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.

Cabin Rear Section




The port side, cabin rear bulkhead is now cut to shape and in place. It's still a little over-size on the companionway side. This will be rectified when I measure out the exact size for the companionway/hatch opening (1'10" according to the plans).


I've fitted the little brass porthole that I found on e-bay for £12! Looks great and it definately looks better than the "Butterfly" vent that was formerly in that position.
