Welcome to episode 38 of the wooden boat liveaboard journey. In this episode I replaced a rotten frame in the interior port side. I also added additional support to the deck using three-quarter inch plywood and applied another coat of epiphanes multi-marine primer to the fibreglassed wheelhouse roof.

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.

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