I am looking at doing some work on an older 55 x 15 x 6
foot
timber boat, 1949 carvel hulled.

Does anyone have any links to restoration guides,
maintenance works that can assist me.

I am a novice and generally need some basic guidance on
where to start first (so that I do not have to repeat or
destroy work already done ie proper staging).

The boat is in reasonable condition but needs to be
given a
good look at to make sure she keeps going.


These should be of interest to you:

http://www.classicboat.co.uk/cb/home.htm

Two wonderful magazines that have given me years of
pleasure and practical tips on wooden boat restoration.

Good Luck!

I'm starting on a major project myself this coming
authumn...
a complete osmosis (blisters) treatment of my 30'
motorsailer.

I'm going to put up a complete worklog he
