More rot than we realised

 Robinetta will be going sailing this year, but not as early in the season as we hoped. It is going to take us a little while to replace this plank!

Luckily it is above the water line, but over 7' of planking was found to be so rotten that it crumbled away once the paint holding it together was removed.

We are going to stay in the shed for an extra month, which will take us to the end of April. Hopefully by that time it will be warm enough for us to do the varnishing needed on the mast.
