Hazel is another Ron Turner boat. A 70ft boat powered by a Lister JP2 its an enthusiasts dream, but suffered from the traditional boatmans problem of a leaky wooden cabin! In 2008 I was commissioned to replace it.
Ahem! No wonder the captains feet were wet!
The Boatmans cabin interior had to be preserved which meant cutting back all of the rotten structure then scarfing in replacement roof beams before recladding the cabin in sturdy 1" tongue and groove.
The whole cabin was then securely clad in marine plywood coated with west system epoxy resin.
A satisfying bit of traditional detail in the new hardwood slide runners
The completed work sealed with two coats of red oxide complete with new handrails and brassware.
