The first task is to repair the damaged keel section. This involves cutting the offending section of keel back to the line of the garboard between the scarphs - as the after scarph is badly damaged, a new scarph is cut  extending this section by a few feet - and the new oak is bedded and bolted to the surviving 'hog' which carries the hull timbers (ribs).
Cradling around the tiller flat Jacking the aft end of the boat into shape The offending aft section of keel removed Positioning the new aft keel section Sliding the keel scarph into position Fastening the keel scarph with new keel bronze bolts
