Construction began during summer 2018. Can't wait to see it sailing in the fleet!<br />

There are still some niggly jobs to do now before the big day: checking all the plumbing (this was difficult to do inside the workshop with water) and solar electrics etc.<br />
Props had to be built to transport the spars on top of the boat.<br />

We love her to bits - she is a great weekender for around West Cork - but we would like to move onto something a bit bigger. So, not without regret, we would like to sell her on to a good new owner. We are open to serious offers - please ring us or send us an email if you would like to view her: 00353868243073 ruiandanke@gmail.com<br />

Since the boat is not 100% symmetrical ( very few old wooden boats are) , the fitting and shaping of the coamings is crucial in the overall layout of the deck. The timber used is Sipo Mahogany. This is particularly suitable for the Mediteranean climate - Iroko, for example, would split and warp under those conditions.<br />
I like to rebate the decking rather than a "V" - it gives me more control over the width of the gap. When the deck is sanded, a "V" gets smaller and smaller, giving rise to the need to correct seams before sealing. The rebate remains constant with sanding. It also seems to be easier to fill it with sikaflex.<br />

Saucy Sue is a very old boat ( probably about 100 years old) from Kenmare, where she was originally used as a small ferry. At some stage, an inboard engine was installed, which wasn't quite supported by her original build. She is 22ft long, Larch planking on oak. The gardboards appear to be made of real teak.She was stored in a shed in Kenmare for several decades<br />
<br />
10 sections of planking had to be replaced, as well as all the steamed frames.<br />
We fitted new stringers and gunwhales in oak. The lower section of the stem was also replaced.<br />
Floorstraps were fitted, bolted to the keel, 16" apart.<br />

Painting the interior of a wooden boat is always a daunting task... and it is very tempting to push on with fitting out at this stage - but to do a top class job, the painting has to be done now.<br />
Fitting out will be a pure pleasure!<br />

Because of this, a restoration is always much more involved than a new build.<br />
Flying Fish has been fitted with some splines and new planking to seal up the hull. Broken timbers (which I discovered were made of Elm) have been replaced by new oak ones. The whole interior and exterior has been scraped.<br />

As with every boat, we're getting to know her better with each sail, gaining more and more trust in her seaworthiness and reaction to the slightest adjustments.<br />

Because craning in had to fit in with so many other schedules, it happened all of a sudden on Monday afternoon in the pouring rain. Official launching will be on the 18th of July at the Glandore Classic Regatta.</div>

So, there were a lot of last minute logistics to sort out: new wheels on the trailer, a help from neighbour Connie O'Sullivan with his tractor on Sunday morning, organizing the crane at Roaringwater pier with the Whooley brothers.<br />
Impossible to plan in detail!<br />

Some minor details still have to be taken care of, such as positioning of the travellers, cutting the sheets and halyards, fixing the hatch hinges...and of course the name on the transom! But still, the sense of achievement is elating!<br />

Because of the limited space, every single item has to be placed very carefully, keeping in mind everything that is going to happen on board.<br />
There are many books and articles which attempt to teach and help with boat electrics/plumbing/rigging - but ultimately, one has to really imagine oneself sailing the boat to make those crucial decisions...<br />
