The original solid-fuel stove, mounted on the starboard side
forward, was too powerful, and is being replaced with a smaller
Faversham stove |

There is one berth to starboard
in the forepeak, with sail stowage opposite. The foremast - visible
in the photo at right - is keel stepped, whilst the aft mast is
stepped on a galvanised frame above the keel, to allow a central
propshaft to lie under the mast base. |

The keel is 6" x 9" Opepe, an African hardwood, with
stem, sternpost deadwood and stem knee of 5" x 9" Opepe,
the sections being fastened together with 3/4" riveted copper
rod. The frames are of sawn oak, doubled and fastened with 3/8"
riveted copper rod. There are also intermediate steamed oak frames.

The clinker planking of the lower hull is Scottish larch, one
and a quarter inch for the garboard planks, and one inch above,
with the top three planks of thicker oak. The planking is fastened
with riveted copper nails and bronze screws.

The bulwarks are mounted on oak and Opepe stanchions, with an
oak capping rail. The decks are supported on 3" x 3"
Opepe deck beams, with Douglas fir deck planking, caulked and
payed. and left bare.

Two Douglas Fir trees, felled in January, before the sap had
risen, about to be cut for the solid masts. The bowsprit, outrigger
and yards are laminated Douglas Fir.
