The foredeck didn’t seem too bad away from the Blister (coachroof). However on investigation it transpired that the top veneer was breaking up in a few areas, particularly in the corners on the ‘uphill’ side of the deck slats. Treatment was relatively simple as there were no complete holes. The ‘king plank’ on the centreline turned out to be in two parts – below and above the deck – and I renewed the section on deck which covered the join between the two sides of the boat.
