| Construction “Sea Lark” was built originally on a white oak keel with 1 1/2? Philippine or Honduras mahogany planking on white oak sawn frames on 8? centers. Five fir stringers and one fir hull clamp were installed on each side. Bulkheads were marine plywood. The plywood decks, originally canvas covered, had been sheathed with fiberglass except for the side and aft decks that had the original teak decking. |
| Hull “Sea Lark’s” hull has been rebuilt, the frames have been replaced with laminated oak frames. The original planking had been stripped, re-painted and re-fastened with 1 5/8? bronze screws. The mahogany planking is in good condition. Many frames have been replaced, and new keel bolts installed. She has a new transom, recently painted topsides, and her bottom has been repainted. |
