A bit more rubbing down done today and a hatch lid made.

 

Starting to strip

The first thing to do was to strip off the canvas skin on the hull which was coming away and very uneven.The canvas came off quite easy to reveal a planked hull, with lots of nails and gaps.

I was given the pond yacht over 30 years ago from My uncle, My brother in law had it for over 25 years where is sat in storage. I had forgotten it existed until he offered it back to Me and so the journey to restoration begins.
