So we had found the ideal size and style for our boat,we were also offered a mooring by Brinklow Boat Services, where we could work on her whilst she was still in the water.The hull had been blacked and the anodes renewed, she had also had a coat of primer to protect the new steel where the front bulkhead had been moved and of course the areas that had been repaired. The survey report was good and so the new shaped shell was born.
The first thing we had to do was clear some remnants of floor, burnt insulation and debris from the recent works.
We went about this task with vigour, working from the stern to the bow in a very efficient manner.
As we cleared each section I lifted the ballast, 2*2 paving slabs and waxoiled the base plate. Fox and I filled umpteenbags with debris and after a week of evenings we were ready to start work proper.
