Plan B
As the Draconian Police have slowly clamped down on entirely safe small boat sailing (
), the boat maintenance time has grown exponentially:
I have 8 floorboards from Timmo's ex-Heron, bereft of life, once nailed to its frame but now has ceased to be.
The floorboards are some sort of mahogany that only Richard could identify. Approximately 72mm wide, 1.85m long and 10mm thick.
Eyeballing it, floorboards could replace the pine gunnels:
I also have rubbing strakes from the non-Heron and a non-Mirror, which could be screwed to the floorboards.
So the quandary is whether the floorboards should be epoxied or screwed to the hull, whether to trim the boards as wide as the pine (48mm) etc.
Advice is welcome.
Stay well
Paul
