on the Lucas boat, a 1932? Herreshoff 15. The transom and framing have been removed and the new keel and deadwood is nearly done.
Say Ahhhh…. Note the plum bob to keep everything in line. Suspended from an overhead wire.
Original transom, grown knees and transom frame.
New white oak knees and frames.
Keel and deadwood. Piece on top is upside down; it matches the keel profile from the plans. The straight side is mated to the lead ballast. The ‘L’ shaped piece is the aft end of the deadwood.
Tom came below for a visit today. Discussed space for Sjogin’s mast in one of the shops this Spring. It’s long overdue for a refinishing.
Breezy on deck, warm enough below.
Enough water for a March sail but gusty from the NNW, up to 20 kts or so. Home for some Spring clean-up work. Bulbs are busting out all over.
