Reply To: Wooden boat question

[JOSEPH BRINCAT]

I would agree with Stanley on this. Better to do your maintenance work first thing in the spring after winter storage when the wood is dry and any seams or cracks are open from natural wood shrinkage. That is what I do with my wood lapstrake Thompson.

Is your Dunphy a molded plywood boat ?  If so, not many seams to contend with.
