[quote=catmodding]Hi, Remember the wooden red Tornado I was planning to restore ? Well, due to circumstances it didn't make it. So, all that was left was mast,boards, rudders, boom, beam and sails. To my surprise a very nice guy ,who knows my sailmaker, called me and told he had found a neglected T in a ditch and he found the owner. He needed a mast and other hardware . So we went together to pick the cat up. And split the merchandise. Thank You Misha ! We towed it out of the ditch with my volvo :-D It was supposed to be a balsa-wood / epoxy cat. It came with beams and a good trampoline but in sorry state, because it had been in the water for years.

[img]http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-RFNPRX4N.jpg[/img] To find a rotten fore-deck in the port hull. The other hull is sound. [img]http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-NJC63L3C.jpg[/img] So, we took it out. To discover its an epoxy T, with a balsa/ epoxy deck. [img]http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-UMVTEOCX.jpg[/img] We kept the upper-deck as a template. [img]http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-GV86V4KB.jpg[/img] And started rebuilding. [img]http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-8XAOWKY4.jpg[/img] Hope to have the deck finished in 4 days, after that its paint. Fingers crossed for a indian summer. Wanna sail this T asap ! Sold the P18-2 yesterday to have some resources rigging the T. While sanding, we didn't find a vin-number or brand-name, only it has sailspar beams and mast, so we decided its a "russian" Tornado witch had a wealthy owner and rigged it in Britain :-) André<!-- editby --><em>Edited by catmodding on Sep 07, 2014 - 11:59 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
