Repairs to Keel Deadwood Under Way

The worm damage to the keel deadwood is not extensive, so they are doing dutchman repairs by hand. If you look closely you can see that the deadwood is actually laminated, so they are scarfing in matching sections.



And here with the dutchman repairs glued in.


Unfortunately they have found a bit of rot in the rudder, entirely the result of a botched previous repair using inappropriate materials. Nothing major.
