Removal of the Forefoot

 Forefoot

In the process of the restoration I am having to learn many new words relating to the parts of the hull.  This is being done from the pictures that I have been sent from the yard and matching to searches online.  (corrections are welcome)

A look at the bow area of the planking and the stem

The picture above shows the forefoot section and a filler block resting below the hull.

From a different angle the rabbet can bee seen.  Not in the greatest shape and will require lots of repair.  The timber is solid and could be replaced but this is a restoration to retain as much as possible of the original. One of the worst problems Adam is finding I believe is the use of iron bolts and nails.  Once the iron corrodes it damages the wood eating into it.
