We think this confirms the hull will take a bit of tension…

After inspection the boat bought off ebay looks like the perfect project for Laurence. She needs a diet and a bit of a tidy, she is currently covered in 1-3mm of lead based paint. However after haging a good few kg's off the rig we think she looks structurally sound.

Over the Christmas break the trailer injuries in the bottom have been sealed and Laurence plans to get her wet in the next few days.
