Welcome to episode 40 of the wooden boat liveaboard journey. In this episode I replaced some ribs and a frame using both oak and teak wood. Unfortunately my camera fell into the water, luckily I have a lend of one for the mean time so I can keep uploading videos.

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 hull planking 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 upload weekly episodes here on my YouTube channel, so make sure to subscribe not to miss out.
