These pages are compiled by an amateur, not a professional. It has been compiled in good faith, but almost certainly contains errors and inaccuracies. I'm attempting to document my work on this boat for the interest of others, and also in order so that they can learn what I have tried and what has worked and what hasn't. I will make mistakes during the course of this restoration, I may well do things badly because I am not aware of a better option, and I may not realise what mistakes I have made. In places I shall report advice I have received from professionals. Its important to note that what you are getting is my understanding of what they've said, based on their understanding of what I've told them. What you are not getting is a report of what they would have done had they been doing the job. Like all material gathered from the web you are recommended to consider the source and evaluate the information carefully before acting on it. "Best practice" also changes frequently with changes in technology and materials. None of the procedures listed are guaranteed to work, and some or all of them may be hazardous. If you feel unable to take responsibility for your own actions and errors without resorting to the legal profession then you are advised not to read it, let alone act on information found here.
