Hi,

The Stuart Turner Henley steam launch hull had been collected at an exhibition in mid-August and in the nearly three months since then it has been kept slightly warm to be sure that it had completely dried out.

Prior to starting work on the hull it was checked over. It had been re-painted and was in pretty good condition, except for several of the seams being split, the bow and stern being particularly bad.  Having said that the hull was very solid and none of the mahogany that the hull is made from is spongy.
 
It is hoped to make a start on the project sometime next week.  I will report progress.
 
Take care Tony.
