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.

Rigged.



I tried the mast up and attempted to make sense of the rigging. I've got a little bit of work to do here to make it all work again.

Out for the last time.


It's time to say goodbye to the shed.................at long last. All of the deck fittings etc are all in place and all that remains is to finish the anti-fouling and rig her properly.



Nearly there.

Thanks for the help Harold. (See told you you'd be famous one day!).

Looking good!



I've had her name made up in vinyl lettering. It took a bit of concentration lining it all up, but I think it looks really well.
