Progress

The new planking to replace the rotten bulwarks is finally in place. The rotten piece was not original, but I had to take of some of the original forward of the rotten piece to have somewhere to scarf the new wood in. Yesterday it looked pretty awful but I'm happy with it now.
The hole for the echo sounder is getting smaller, thanks to marine epoxy plastic padding. I can't see any decent alternative to epoxying in the transducer - the keel is just too deep to fit it in a removable manner.
Still lots to do - a plank on the port stern is trying to lift and some caulking needed around it too. The forestay chain plate is nearly ready to refit - the old holes have been filled with dowel and re-drilled. The new propeller is not fitted yet and I haven't been up the mast to fix the VHF antenna. It does feel a bit less daunting now.
