The first of the port side hull planks to be removed as part of the hull restoration.

As part of Chance's restoration there are a number of planks being replaced as they are either rotten or incorrectly fitted because they are made up of short pieces 


This plank is quiet a length, however, it will not be the only long plank to be replaced on the hull as there a number of long planks that have to be renewed as there a number of short planks that have been replaced in the past.


The forward end of the first plank that as now been removed showing it was screwed on to one half of the double grown frame which makes up the framework of the hull.


The hull as a number of double frames that make up the framework of the hull.


One of the many ribs that have to be renewed as part of the restoration and give back the strength in the hull.


The aft end of the first plank and fixing the plank back to the double frame as it was originally build.
