Update: Restoration at Franklin's Continues


Assuming the engine gets fixed with no further problems, she's not far away from being done.

Work done since last update includes:
  • refastening of the keel (every bolt but one was broken!)
  • the naval gland is apart awaiting repacking (the old packing was totally rotten)
  • repairing and revarnishing the mast and bowsprit with new orgeon pine
  • rot repair on the inside of the hull and hull refastening
  • derigged and rerigged
  • all planks recaulked
  • painted the hull
  • antifouling the hull
