Abaco Dinghy Restoration - Cleats

30 Apr 24:

We continued removing old paint today and removed a few cleats so that we could sand easier. We took photos with hopes of getting the cleats back into the same spots when we put the boat back together. 

But first we pondered this transom seam. It seems that one of the plank nails has worked to make the seam wider, so we might ct part of that nail out before we pull the transom pieces back together. We'll see how it looks after we soak the hull.


It has warmed up enough that we are switching to shade seeking mode, so the dolly rolled out onto the Quarterdeck for today's fun.



Several cleats are homemade, we imagine they were made for use with the sail rig and for convenience when the boat is in tender mode.





This cleat's fasteners caused issues...


...and while we could have just made a new cleat, we thought it would be fun to save the old cleat with some adhesive.





Stowed the Dinghy and the Nutshell Pram for the evening, they swapped spots in the Boat Works shed.
