    Another Plank Forward

    Whitstable Maritime’s AGM was well attended. In her Chairperson’s address, Susannah used these diagrams to illustrate progress with the restoration of the Gamecock. The planks for the side of the hull have been purchased. Most are larch but the bottom few will be sweet chestnut because it is easier to steam and bend to the shape of the hull.
