Restoration Project on Dragonfly No10

No 10 has been brought by the Dragonfly class from funds raised over a number of years. From the pictures above she does not look in bad condition, however by the time she has been rebuilt only  20 planks will be original every other part of the boat will have been replaced.

At present the boat is housed and being worked on by Phil Hawley and Richard Smithson.

The current situation is No10 has been completely stripped down, she is without ribs or any form of support structure and has been bolted to a jig (designed and built by John Fish when working on No45).

At present a new stem and garboard planks are being shaped in preparation for steaming and fitting, once this phase is complete  the boat will be entirely re-ribbed.
