another corking question....
      15/05/2008 22:42

ok, bad pun, and forgive my numptiness, but every wooden boat I've owned previous you could almost pick up and carry by comparison!

this weekends task is going to be to attack the caulking on the dodgy seams above the water line, but there's another bit I'm wondering how best to address

either side of the stem, has opened up a bit, nothing leaky, but there are visible cracks in whatever was sealing it previously, so thought it might be worth raking that out and redoing as well...

so the question is what with?? Putty again?? some modern synthetic alien slime or what??

for what its worth the boat is a big old fifie - 45' (and 70 this year!)
so basically we're talking about a is big old fishing boat
