    That's right. I'd guess oregon plus some other pine. The planks that are goners are the other species. The oregon seems mostly fine.

    This is the aft half of the sheer plank - the front section was rotted and has been removed. Note the top edge of the plank below.

    Actually, I think she must be called Pinafore, or I will be in terrible trouble with my daughters, who are mad keen G&S devotees. I've even picked up a proper wheel for her. :)

    Fantastic, thanks Larks. I will take your advice and flip her over. The motor is out, and the lead ballast was loose, so that's out too. Shouldn't be pretty easy to get her over.

    Dayboat Launch

    Hi Michael, and all,

    I have been pondering building a cheap open boat with a canopy along the lines of the Duffy and Elco electric boats. I have had a good look at your design here:...

  21. Wanted: Hull up to 24' to convert to "putt putt" or steam launch

    Ideally, something clinker, 22-22' long, and fairly beamy. Will consider shorter hulls. I'm in Perth. Thanks all.
