On Saga, work has moved on to replace the missing sternboard deck mounting beam, part of which had been cut-out to allow an outboard motor to be stern mounted. Work is also progressing on stiffening up the port side deck beams and the foredeck arches.

With a final trim the starboard side deck supports and hull planking is now pretty much complete. Focus has turned to the foredeck supports, which require completely rebuilding, the port side deck supports and sternboard.

Painting of the interior of Saga continued. At the same time some repairs were made to weakened stringers on the opposite side of the boat where tubing for rowlocks had been added at some point. Since we don't need mountings for rowlocks we are removing the rusting tubing and restoring the stringers to strenghten them. Work has also started on replacing the underdeck foredeck supports.
