      Pond yacht rebuild

        Hi all, my name is Tony.

        So all are aware I have absolutely no experience with things that float,

        But when my mother passed away and we were clearing the house I came across an old 'pond yacht hull ?' which my Dad had brought home many years ago and we had played with together in the bath tub. Everything about it seems hand made. I have taken the deck off and under it the hull seems to have been roughly chopped out. I have also removed the pointy bit at the front, bowspirit?, I had to remove it to get the deck piece off. I have scraped the top coat of paint off, which was very badly pitted, and found the original paint underneath with the name Constance on the bow which was my nanas name.

        With all these family connections I would love to see it complete and sailing, which is what my Dad intended, I think.

        I hope someone can help with this, but please don't assume I know anything, cos I don't

        I will post some pictures of the hull shortly.

        Many thanks for any assistance

        Tony
