After the Storm
After the Storm was once an Island freighter, then became a prop in a movie finally to come home to Mr. Charlie's fold where the end use will be day charter and diving. This was a huge push in Belize using native lumber and labor. Great fun. | ||
This Sea Lord trawler had sat for several years with the original complaint that the aft cabin leaked. Unfortunately, the reality was much worse than the simple symptom. The project entailed a complete recore of the aft cabin, and full restoration of the teak. An early report describes the condition: On the port side there is a considerable concern over the under deck areas and the cabinetry in the below deck areas. I have removed the rotten paneling the formed the ceiling and the wall of the area. The very bad news is that the rotting wall extends behind and below the cabinets forming their backs. There is considerable evidence that the deck area is in possible worse shape than the sides of the cabin | ||
Miranda Leigh is a classic wood Trojan 32 that has had a loving owner for the last 15 years, but developed a case of severe cabin rot rendering the V berth wet and uncomfortable. Overall the boat is in very good condition for her age and make. This is a very typical structural repair to be required on older wooden boats. Unfortunate a full correct "Restoration" is financially out of the question due to the market value of 1960's wood boats. Therefore the focus of this repair is to repair the major damage with very defined limits set as to where one grafts into the remaining structure of the vessel.All old wood boat owners should take note that I can save the old girl; and at a price that makes it worth your while. | ||
