from planking. I countersunk the stem bolts and swapped out the temporary treaded
bar and fitted the new galvanised bolts with a little cotton around the heads to seal them
up. I also fastened all the sawn frames to the keel with 12g x 3 1/2 inch silicone bronze
screws and put in a few missing nuts and bolts here and there.
I also glued on a small repair piece on the corner of a plank and gave all the nuts on all
the doubling pieces on the frames bit of a tighten up as I guess the green oak had shrunk
slightly.
Then I sorely set about removing two more planks, I didn't want to be stepping
backwards but there was no way they could be left in.

| I guessing they were damaged by burning engine oil etc when she caught fire or else they were scraped clean year after year |
