Closing Her Back Up

Rick wasn't fibbing - now that they are closing her back up it is all happening quickly.

Preparing the planks. Each one has to be cut specifically on a radius for its slot in the hull. Clementine keeps watch over the work...

Inner planking going on.


Note the strapping behind; inner planks over the strapping are cut with rebates for the strapping to fit into.


Roughly shaped new section to replace the dodgy repair job around the rudder.

Fitted in place.
