Repair And Restoration Of A Willets

[johnhh]

So I bought a Willets from Paul Miller. It needed some work. Paul walked me thru the process. I took some notes. Attached is a write up I did as I straightened out the notes, with some comments of stuff I learned along the way.

I am just a beginner, the notes and Paul's guidance really helped me. Perhaps these notes will help someone else.

Many thanks to Paul Miller - for getting me hooked on a Willets, and for helping me with the restoration process.

Great notes John.
That is a very thorough step by step.
Great info and I really like the photos backing up the text.

I have Richardson Tripper 64 long term restoration project that that I've taken on. So far removed damaged rotted planking, stripped varnish and cleaned hull. You have a lot of tips that I'll hope to follow.
