As most of the panels literraly disintegrated when removed I have no patterns to make the new panels from, so I have left one side intact so I can use brown paper to make patterns for the new panels, rebuilding the port side (left) first then the starboard side.
A lot of the boat is made of hardwood with marine plywood. I have managed to find a local carpenter who has said he will remake any of the support pieces that I need, if I give him the old ones. For example one of the roof supports is completely rotton though, but has come apart cleanly in two parts.
I need to get a larger tarpaulin or maybe a marque so I can work on her in the winter months.
