    We will have to revisit this slide show several times. I am the indenture servant for an Atkin 33ft wooden schooner located in Westerly, RI. We have the deck off and deck beams and floor timbers are in process. We also plan to use the 2 sheets of 3/8 marine plywood.

    Thanks, Jim

    Thanks Maynard. What an amazing uncompromised restoration. I’m in awe of the consistent excellence of all Brion Rieff’s work and the wonderful ambience of his shop. What a wonderful community of common interests and mutual support you Brooklin wooden boat people inhabit.
