Close up of the rudder, propeller and under the hull. The anti-fouling has worked quite well on the wooden hull, but the metal work has accumulated a few items of marine growth - mainly barnacles, mussels and some tube worm. The sacrificial anode has all but disappeared ... so it has done it's job.

Stern view ... more tube worm, some mussels, barnacles / limpets - considering she has been afloat for at least three years longer than anticipated, the anti-fouling [helped by the ironstone stain in Nov 2022] hasn't done too badly.

Rear end ... . . not my image

View to compare with how she looked when we first saw her; up in Fife, Scotland.

detail of the anodes, rudder, propeller, rope-cutter and the deadwood under the stern.

Blue gloss on Hull, light blue bo'top and anti-foul below the waterline. The prop, rope cutter and Macduff anodes are fitted temporarily and will be removed until just before the launch trip - for extra security.

Deadwood, propeller / rope cutter and rudder / anodes all in what will be their final positions when the boat is launched. For security reasons - all the items of value have now been removed to secure, off-site storage.

Close up of the re-painted rudder, now fully fitted. . . .All valuables are removed to secure offsite storage at night

The finished rudder and tiller hung on William Riley. The rudder is normally controlled using ropes, by the coxswain. (the bright spots are sunlight coming in some ventilation openings in the ridge of the roof )

A replacement rudder was made by laminating oak sections, and then cutting out the required shape. This process was used to try to eliminate warping. So far, it has worked!
