Mirror 16 Sail Boat Restoration

I have just joined the group and started to restore a Mirror 16 sailing boat CLII which i believe is registered with this group with the previous owner.

While I am not new to wood work, or woodenboat restoration, I am however new to sail boats.

I am in the process of removing all the fitting and documenting their locations as part of the process, but so far I have found a few cracks in the ply sheeting, not sure if they will be able to be patched or sheets replaced, but thats for another day in the future. I have also found some soft areas of ply in the port seat, but unable to determine if they are previous damaged areas that have been glassed over or more ominous.

I will post some photos in the coming weeks as I peel back the layers.

To ensure I keep to the original design, I am looking for Mirror 16 plans or if anyone knows where I may be able to purchase some?

I am planning on removing the floor and seaat tops to allow full inspection, and access for any repairs that may be required. I am thinking about using a small router with a pattern cutter to do remove the flooring then an multi function tool with a half round or flat blade. Is this the best way to remove these sections of the floor and seat tops!!!!!

Geez this brings back some memories, I helped my father build a Mirror when I was 15 (many many moons ago), to sail with and later in its life as a small fishing boat. Eventually got to heavy for my father to lift onto the roof racks for transport so traded it on an aluminium boat. Interesting in a way considering we built a fold away trailer that we sold with it.

Sorry no plans to help you nor will my lack of memory on the build either.

You may want to move this thread to the boat building / repairing forum.
