Drascombe Dabber VICTORY 17 Nov 17 New Floor

17 Nov 17:

Stepped the main and mizzen mast, they are in good enough shape to be saved. Stays are in good shape as well as the halyards.


Picked up some cumaru Peruvian teak for the floor, started cutting out new slats.



Tips for the Lugger and Dabber floor - sole -

-1x6 deck boards work great. They are actually 5 1/2 inches wide, which leaves a nice gap between boards. Some also already have radiused edges, saves time.
-Use the old floorboards as a pattern for width spacing, cleat spacing and shape.
-Put a wide board on the outside slat and work inboard, where you will have the shorter, narrow center boards.
