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!***

The Bright work!




I've got 2 coats of varnish on the outer cabin superstructure now. The first coat was heavily thinned to allow it to penetrate into the wood. Again I've used International for this. The varnish is Schooner and thinners (Flow agent) No. 333. I want at least another 3 coats on so I think I'll be buying in some more!
