Take it the ventilation was added by customs. She is a sorry looking tub. Does the sun damage mean the timbers totalled or could linseed oil or saltwater tighten things up again? Prob scrap but worth asking, i dont know on those things, theyr all wet & rotten here |

Mega sun damage. Timbers v.dry and peel away from sides- but surprisingly still strong enough to be be walked on deck! I guess it 'could' be repaired if you were dedicated but would cost a heck of a lot of money with the price of mahogany these days! Would take gallons and gallons of linseed oil!!!!

Can you still get mahogany out there? We have to make do with 'politically correct' wood over here, or strip another boat Can you put some pics of the inside up? |

I belive Mahogany is not totally banned in the uk. However to get mahogany you need a special import permit. I assume restoring an historic vessel with like for like would enable you to get a permit. Anyone know anymore details than that? |

That sounds about right. know you can get it for grade1 listed buildings(only if theyre deemed at risk, paperwork done, fall down without it, permits ect. mind you thats before you can pick up a saw) Can it be got for any of these old warboats or do they have to be on the 'core list' of historic vessels? Does it count for salaged mahogany? would hope not as no rainforrest being cut down if you dismantle an old hulk into a container. |

I will put some interior shots up in the HSL forum if that's ok? Best to keep in topic eh Can we still get mahogany? Doubt it! We have access to some salvaged from a wreck but its small fry compared to what would be needed to rescue this boat! Cyprus doesn't have much wood at all- most of the wood imported here is bog-standard pressure treated pine.... ahh well! Edited by BoatBird |
