Re: Another Hartley TS16 restore.
No photo as yet, but I spent the morning raising the top on one side of the CB case. I'm increasing the height by 75mm. Height is one of those ei words that buck the ei rule, gets me all the time.

Re: Another Hartley TS16 restore.
Good move Gary. With minimum buoyancy installed, a swamped Hartley will float with the top of the (as designed) casing only just above water. Yours, as built, would be well below waterline.
I guess the other issue with the low CB case is the retracted board would hang 50 or so mm below the hull making it a bugger to get on the trailer!Comment

Re: Another Hartley TS16 restore.
Is the CB itself true Gary? Or is it perhaps smaller than as drawn?Larks

Re: Another Hartley TS16 restore.
In measurement it is 75mm shorter in depth.
So, pulled the cramps off the side I did yesterday and it's all good so far.

Re: Another Hartley TS16 restore.
I have the extention on the other side of the CB case glued up now. Fingers crossed I'll get more done tomorrow.Without freedom of speech, we wouldn't know who the idiots are.Comment

Re: Another Hartley TS16 restore.
I managed to get all the house and yard jobs out of the way early and it's not raining...yet. So I figured I could get a bit of boat work done.
Both sides with their extentions.

The joins were a bit gappy but some epoxy and microfibre took care of that.
I had a roll of 100mm glass tape leftover from the Redwing repairs which gave a 25mm overlap of the join. Wetting out the tape.

Both sides of the case are done, time for a coffee

Re: Another Hartley TS16 restore.
Another day and a few more hours work.
All ready to sand back and get a coat of primer on.

The stiffener on the outside will be a feature piece as well.

Re: Another Hartley TS16 restore.
It always pays to have a couple of small jobs that need a bit of primer on the side, just in case you've mixed extra. I did do an extra mix for the transom but I did want to get the rudder closer to a top coat.
Blade primer.jpg
The rudder stock is a bit more of a problem as the gap between the cheeks (none of that!) is not wide enough to get a brush or a thin roller right in there.

The transom and port quarter topside copped some primer as well.

Re: Another Hartley TS16 restore.
Sort of wishing I had varnished the rudder stock instead. Too late now, I'm not stripping it back a 2nd time.Without freedom of speech, we wouldn't know who the idiots are.Comment

Re: Another Hartley TS16 restore.
Slapping more 2 pac primer around. I cleaned up and keyed the paint under the cockpit sole aft section.

I did contemplate the idea of stripping the inside of the hull back to bare ply, but sometimes I think you have a draw a line on some things. I do want to go sailing next year.

Re: Another Hartley TS16 restore.
A couple of steps forward, but it looks like one back.
The forward bit was getting the CB slot primed with some 2 pac.

I then moved onto the aft starboard section under the cockpit.

I noticed a bit of give in the unpainted strip, a section that had been repaired in the past. So I put a mat down under the boat, and had a look. A poke with a finger confirmed my suspicions.

It's not pretty and there is a dimpling around a couple of other previous patches where steel screws have been used.
Anyway it will probably have to wait till I can tip the boat on it's side.Without freedom of speech, we wouldn't know who the idiots are.Comment

Re: Another Hartley TS16 restore.
A couple of spare hours and I made some good progress today. The centerboard case is once again the center of attention.
Extending the height of the case meant extending the aft piece of framing. Basically a little beveled block of wood.

Next job was to glue on the top side rails. With jobs where I need to glue a section of timber to another piece, and I don't want it to move I use small brads to hold it in place. Simple bang in some brads in the glue face, then snip them really short. The photo shows one rail with the brads, and the other with them cut short.

The rails had bowed a bit, so I had to use a bit of persuasion to get sitting properly.

And the second side done.

Re: Another Hartley TS16 restore.
Okay, I'm getting a bit excited now...so close to refitting the centerboard case.
Both the centerboard slot in the keelson, and the inside faces of the case have a gloss two pack topcoat.

Re: Another Hartley TS16 restore.
Okay, settle down, it is only a dry fit.

There are still a few small jobs to do on it, but I reckon I may have it glued together tomorrow.Last edited by WX; 11-30-2021, 03:30 AM.Without freedom of speech, we wouldn't know who the idiots are.Comment
