In August 2021 I bought a dighy to play around with
It came with the original red sails
Winter 2024 i started a restoration, as there where several issues, especial abound the frame.
The Dinghy is made as a outer and a inner shell, that is mounted together with xxx, after removing them and the framelist, I removed the foam from the inner shell, and filled a few "mousehooles with extra PU foam.
On the inner shell, i desided to get rid of the anoing ridge in the bottom that seems to collect sand and "stuff". I fist filled out the ridge with PU foam, and then with a few layers og fiberglass.
The mastmount in the bottom was also damaged, I knocked out the old Polyester/epoxy, and cast a new epoxy block in the hole.

The end plate for the rudder was also about to rot away, so this got unmountes and a new one is in preperation.
On the inner shell,is mounted some reinforcements ( wooden strips with glasfiber over) I looks like the wood was untreated, and a lot of the was starting to rot as well, so they had to go to.
