A183 Starting the repair of the sprung laminations on the port bow from the inside.
-
A183 All four layers of laminate were sprung on the port bow just below the waterline; from an anchor swinging in a seaway?
-
A183 Beginning to look like an Atalanta again! (The coachroof is not yet fixed in place.)
-
A183 The deck back in place ready for fairing.

-
A183 New wood scarfed into the stem.
-
A183 With the king plank back in place, the foredeck is ready for replacement.
-
A183 Sections of the stringers on the starboard bow had also to be renewed.
-
A183 The decision was taken to cut out and replace much of this section of deck rather than fill up all the holes.
-
A183 After removing the false stem, the soft wood in the stem around the bolt holes was cut out ready for scarfing in new wood.
-
A183 Section of soft wood cut out of the starboard bow with replacement scarfed in.

-
A183 There was also some rot under the stem head fitting and around all screw and bolt holes.
-
A183 There was a lot of very soft wood in the false stem around the stem fitting and bolt holes.
