I must add my own best wishes to Clive and his team - these are very special moments in the history of ex-S32 and I am pleased that those moments have been recorded here - like Pathfinder - I relish the thought of reading more on this very brave saga, there will surely be further exciting times ahead. Well done Clive

Clive, The additional section added either side of the keel is normally to consolidate the lower and of the hull planks and their fixings onto the keel, as well as providing some protection or a form of repair to the keel.  Note that there is no Garboard plank in the classic sense as the daigonal planks attach directly to the keel. They may have a covering stemplate when built but were often fitted with extra protection during service. Also in the forefoot there is normally a stepped scarfe connection  between the keel and the forefoot or stem sections. These can be prone to weakening especially if fresh water has been running down into them and also if it is laminated the the glue lam joints can fail in this area and back in the slamming zone. One option to help cause these are to externally reinforce the keel. 

Of course thare may be other reasons for fitting them so this is not known until it has been checked out, but the original design had a smooth keel to planking transition without any steps or open edges.

Best regards

AndyS

Cheers Andy,

The extra wood will be staying put for the forseeable future, most of the time money and effort will be going into the hull sides, the damage from the lift looks quite extensive on the stbd side, the internal chine is damaged. on the port side it does not look so bad but probably is.

'32 arrived in Lowestoft this afternoon, that is another leg of the journey over,  I have to thank everyone who has given up their time to help with and record the journey '32 has taken over the past weeks, all of the situations she has been in, some not ideal, have been  'moments in time' which if not photographed would have been lost.

Hi there,

 

Great to hear she made it to Lowestoft, hope she is soon on the slip and under repair, then of course out and about.

I am sure that Clive will not mind me just letting all of you know, 32 is now safely off the trailer with no more damage being done to her, in fact the trailer journey had no detrimental effects on the boat that we can see, also 4 strops are better than two, more so with a travel hoist. Hull will be made water tight for the short journey to the slipway.

MASB  32 has had the damage repaired so as to make the trip to the yard a safe one, the boat will take to the water on Monday am and go straight onto the slip and into the shed.
if we get time for some pics we will pass these on, we have an experienced skipper to take her the short distance to the yard and are expecting no problems, the time delay is just so that we get the tide right so there is no hanging about.
