Starting the repair of the sprung laminations on the port bow from the inside.
-
All four layers of laminate were sprung on the port bow just below the waterline; from an anchor swinging in a seaway?
-
Beginning to look like an Atalanta again! (The coachroof is not yet fixed in place.)
-
The deck back in place ready for fairing.
-
Prior to replacing the deck, one inch Sapelle planks were shaped and inserted as under-deck reinforcement for fittings such as cleats, fairleads and pulpit.
-
Laminations going back on to the hull over the repaired stringer.
-
New wood scarfed into the stem.
-
With the king plank back in place, the foredeck is ready for replacement.
-
Sections of the stringers on the starboard bow had also to be renewed.
-
The decision was taken to cut out and replace much of this section of deck rather than fill up all the holes.
-
After removing the false stem, the soft wood in the stem around the bolt holes was cut out ready for scarfing in new wood.
-
Section of soft wood cut out of the starboard bow with replacement scarfed in.
-
The stringers sections in the port bow replaced ready for the deck to be put back.
-
soft wood cut out of the port bow where the deck to hull joining stringer meets the thicker section at the bow.
-
More holes than a swiss cheese, but no rot.
-
There was also some rot under the stem head fitting and around all screw and bolt holes.
-
There was a lot of very soft wood in the false stem around the stem fitting and bolt holes.

The Maid of Orwell was still operating. Not sure I would have fancied a cream tea aboard that afternoon.

The walk down the Orwell is sometimes in woodland, sometimes open marshland. Highly recommended.
