Flying Dutchman Restoration
Took the opportunity to help out with restoring a Flying Dutchman. Thought it worth sharing pics of construction having carefully removed the outer skin.
The first pic shows original construction under the foredeck (hull inverted). The trouble some folks will go to to save weight! The second is under the side deck towards the stern. The third is the transom frame all clamped up after re-gluing.
Very complex framing but beautifully done, and obviously very light and strong.
This could be under way for some time.....;)
