Some volunteers are away down south while other continue with the conservation work.Wood filler applied last week today needed to be sanded and faired. Whilst one of the team worked on sanding filler on both Saga and Waterlily the other team members worked on Shamrock.

To get access to the rivets joining the sheer strake to number 6 strake it was decided to cut the stringer just aft of the forad thaft and remove it temporarily. With the stringer removed we could also get access to the timmers, many of which were broken at tulfer level. A decision was made to cut away the broken timmers in this area of the boat and replace them, suitably scarfed to the existing good wood. Work also began cutting scarf joints on the sheer strake.
