Deck Planks

There has been no visible progress of repairs on Shamrock over the last couple of weeks, but in the boat shed it is all go! Approximately 1,800 ft. (548 m) of deck planks have been machined to 1 7/8 inch (47 mm)  x 4 inch (100 mm) with a beading line on one side of the bottom edge, and 1/8 inch (3 mm) taper half depth caulking seams on both top edges, all done using a router. The crew will be glad when the boat shed gets back to normal!

Shamrock's forward companionway and deckhouse coamings are being cut and shaped ready for fitting.
