Dear All,
I'm new here but the forum looks to be a great source of advice and support. I have just purchased a 16' Pompei clinker from early 1960's I'm told. It's in need of some fairly major restoration, virtually no dry rot but came to grief on some rocks and will need a couple of planks replaced on each side along with plenty of general restoration....a long term project!
I'd be very grateful of advice regarding how to approach the restoration work - I'm pretty handy but have virtually no experience with boat building or restoration. Would appreciate sources of advice - people, books, DVDs or webpages.
Cheers,
