Built in 1911on the isle of man, based on the lines of Morecambe bay drawner or Lancashire nobby. 34 ft LOA. Pitch pine on oak bone. Full length rocker. Cast iron keel. Gaff boom and sprit. I’m on this project for a minimum of three months.
I’m replanking the 5 strakes on the starboard side, The first two weeks were fitting the bottom strake in which has most shapeliest tuck plank. Was very interesting to do, and by the end of the week I got the next plank shaped and ready to fit. Really enjoying the project and environment.
we got up to four strakes and sorted out the frames to then carry on up the topsides and continue planking.
Starting to form the two shutter strakes,
Some edge repairs and spiling out the last 20ft plank before the shutters.
Plant a boat, Planta Genesta, Plant a seed in my heart…
The two shutter strakes gone in, with a whisky plank celebration. Hull is complete.
i went off to do other projects and travel, but the team carried on and finished her up and she went in on the 12th October 2020 and luckily i was in emsworth to be involved in the launch,
