She is Carvel built of Mahogany planks over sawn Pine frames. The planks are fastened with Stainless Steel (316) screws and the frames are glued and fastened using wooden pegs and Galvanised bolts. Before painting, all wood was treated with a mixture of Turpentine, Pine Oil and Cuprinol.
The deck is Marine Plywood epoxy laminated and covered with chopped strand mat in epoxy resin. The Spar is of Siberian Larch. The rudder is transom hung on Stainless Steel (316) pintles.
The ballast keel is a Stainless Steel (316) box of 6mm sides and bottom, which has lead ingots in it. The lead is then laid in poliester resin inside. Five Stainless Steel (316) tubes are welded inside vertically through the keel box, where the keel bolts go through, meaning the box is completely sealed from seawater. There are 5 Stainless Steel (316) keelbolts to carry 1.5 tonnes. It is a massively strong construction.
There are no through hull fittings and a water tight bulkhead under the cockpit.
The broker described her as: 'A sturdy and salty little lady. Which will appeal to traditionalists on a budget'.
There is no inboard engine, no toilet, no electronics, and traditional (Block & Tackle) rigging (no winches).

Forgot to subscribe to this blog! Long time mate ... Apologies firstly, was supposed to call you about your final voyage on Doris ... got a bit busy unfortunately. I did hear that it wouldn't have been a good ride for me if I did come along!
I see you are getting along with your 16th century boat. I'll keep an eye out on this blog from now on.
Something you may be interested in. We are submitting a news article on hacking super yachts with a view to actually conducting some pen tests on a super yacht in Dubai. Any tips on any flaky comms equipment u have come across?
Yo Pravster ... !!! Def interested in getting involved with the SuperYacht project. Let me know when you are about for a skype chat session for more details and to generally catch up.
Spend some money on a wi-fi antenna, laptop and batteries - then start updating the blog once a week!
