The Mirror is almost back

My friend Peter was the last to sail it with me (just after I brought it home), and I vividly remember him bailing out the water that was coming in through the split bottom seam, while we were sailing back to shore.... Well, the boat only had a little wood rot, so I started the process or repairing it.

I have so far replaced - 2 pannels, both gunwhales, and all of the fibreglass tape. and last night, I applied the last coat of paint to the outside of the hull.

Next task, now that the front deck is back on, is to replace the fiberglass tape on the top of the deck, cut 2 pieces of ply for the curved part of the front (there is probably a sailling term for that...), and paint the inside.

Should be on the water in a week or so.

Here are some pictures during the restoration:
