Crash Tender Rebuild update
Since my last posting I have spent weeks stripping the paint, refilling where required and have had to make new roof and floor sections, worst part has been been the front windows as these were totally rotten once the old paint was removed, and making new ones was hard because the old frames they attach to is warped. I still have not fitted them yet as I'm looking to paint and glaze first.

- welshfenmanAble Seamanmany thanks to you both.many thanks to you both. At this time I have no idea of the weight except to say that from what I can gather from looking at the rudder that this boat seems to from the sixties/seventies, and is quite a substantial vessel. She is undergoing a major refit.( spent the day rubbing down the inside of the hull, and removing paint from the toerail to the carlings. This looks like being a long job.

I would recommend you "glass-cloth" the outside of the hull.. models built during this period tend to have been built with bio-degradeable glue! (cascemite/ boneglue. etc.) show it water for the first time in 40 years and your boat will revert to kit status and basically become unstuck! if the wonky glue doesn't do it then the diesel/glow fuel used in the 60's will have undone all the joints from the inside-out anyway! enjoy your restorations and read as much as you can on here db
