Here’s a 3D sketch of what the boat will look like when I’ve finished restoring her. I’ll be adding a canopy over the cockpit that will be made from some light and strong Western Red Cedar and marine ply.

The canopy will then be fitted with canvas sides that can be rolled up when the weather is fine. It’s not a very detailed sketch but it gives you an idea of how the finished project will look. Anyway I’ve finished the first batch of sanding and I’m undercoating at the moment so I’m making the most of the fine weather we’re having here at the moment.
