Welcome to Episode 35 of the wooden boat liveaboard journey. In this episode, I started back working in the v-berth removing rotten wooden supports and replacing them with teak. I also replaced the Mahogany trim to the forecabin plywood sides on both the port and starboard side. My channel is dedicated to sharing the process of restoring and repairing a beautiful 1940 Seaplane Tender into a fully functional liveaboard.

The boat is a 1940 seaplane tender initially used by the Royal Air Force during WW2. The hull is built of double diagonal mahogany planks and oak ribs. My parents bought this boat more than 30 years ago and used it for weekend trips up the lake. Unfortunately, as they became busy with work it was left idle for many years falling into disrepair. So I've started to invest time into repairing the boat and transforming it into a liveaboard.

I'll document the process as best I can and release weekly episodes here on my YouTube channel. So make sure to subscribe if you haven't already.

Thanks for the support, As always stay productive and have fun creating!
