It's so fantastic you're saving this lovely, historic old boat. I do hope more people get on board (pun intended) with your channel, so you can stay motivated to keep making these videos. So, come on, those of you who have watched it, like and subscribe. Thank you for sharing, Sir.
@Johncollier608 Thank you for your support John, you have no idea how much that means to me, I hope to be able to do two update videos per month on Joseph so stay tuned, Next update will be moving Joseph to his new home some 300 miles across the country. JHC
well that's a heap. I think it would be easier to build a new hull and reuse all the bits and bobs. If there's any rot in the main keel you may need to replace the whole timber in a single piece for strength. I really hope you get the old girl back on the water. She's definitely a unique project. I wish you luck and patience
She's certainly a boat load of work that will need doing, got our work cut out for us, I'd be very interested in seeing what you have available as we need a steering helm unit along with compass, could also be looking for drawings, our contact at the RNLI has confirmed they don't hold the drawings anymore so we are currently trying track those down.
