Removing the old panel on the other hand took a lot more effort than I expected, like most things on the Sabrina, where she is rotten she disintegrates, where she is solid she is very solid. While stripping off I noticed two other patches of rot on the side decks, where they joined the front section.
The plan is to cut all the new pieces to size, dry fit them and then seal them with epoxy, infact seal all the pieces of wood before refitting. Once refitted I'll put another two coats of epoxy, which will hopefully stop her rotting again in the future,
