Teal Cruiser Newbie questions
Hi folks
I've just bought a Teal cruiser(about 5.5 metre) and I think she dates from the mid to late seventies.Should the boat have a makers plate on it and if so where? She needs a bit of work and I wonder if anyone has come across these boats before. Under the rotting ply decking is a steel girder grid embedded into GRP.I was wondering about the functionality of this.Is it just for strength and rigidity or does it serve some other pupose.There's also something that looks like a valve or drain cock down in one of the girder 'compartments' which goes through the hull. What's that for? Are these items found on lots of boats? As you can probably tell I'm new to boats and would appreciate any tips or advice and maybe a recommendation of a good book on GRP boat structure and repair. Thanks for your patience Brian |
