Update: Restoration Continues at Franklin's

We now seem to be back on track and over half way done.

What's been done since the last post:

• All the paint on the hull has been removed, the planks realigned, and recaulked,
• All soft wood has been replaced on the inside,
• Keel is being reattached with new keel bolts made from scratch,
• New Oregon wood is on its way to restrengthen the original mast and then revarnish,
• Mast step has been refastened,
• Elbows in the hull have been refastened,
• Area around the propeller shaft being refastened to stop additional leaks

Still to be done:

• Engine repair,
• Painting and anti fouling,
• Rigging required for safe sailing to Wellington
