Josephine

45ft Phillip Rhodes design, built in 1954

Josephine came to us for routine annual maintenance and survey work.

Some rot had been picked up in the horn timber around the rudder tube. We removed the whole horn timber and replaced it with a new Iroko one. The cabin top was replaced and sheathed with epoxy and cloth as well as re-building hatch surrounds and a new teak gas locker. All the bright work was striped back to bare and 8 coats of Epifanes varnish applied; topsides were re-painted, internal painting and varnishing.
