Built at the McGruer
yard in Glasgow,
Scotland, Fairwyn
has come to us
on two occasions.
The first saw some
new cockpit coamings
and toerails,
replacement of
her shaft and some
modifications to the
navigation area.
needing new planking
plans for Fairwyn
With age, her bronze
fastenings, diagonal
strapping and floors
had, through corrosive
action degraded her
planking significantly.
Originally double
planked, we chose to
repair her in the same
fashion, peeling back
the layers to above
the waterline then
replacing the planks
from the top down.
The spiling for the
inner cedar layer
was sufficient not
to have to spile the
outer mahogany
layer. They could
be used as patterns.
Some quick shaving
produced an
excellent fit.
West epoxy was
used to precoat the
inner layer, bond
the two layers and
coat the outside of
the finished planking.

 Fairwyn has embarked
on some extended
cruising and was last
reported to be in
the Carribean.
