@SailBluenose2 I do understand hogging, I feel much better knowing parts of the old will be reincorporated into the BLIII interior. (I will have to look up Bluenose Academy). It looks like the 3 layers of ceilings are epoxied together and to the frames. Sure it's stiff, but how do you repair a coldmolded ship? Traditional would last longer then 50 years, no? (Don't think I'm a hater, just an interested Canadian who likes working on rotten old boats(I know little about wood ships))

@blaynklsajfds there was no other way. the frame lost its curve to do age and didn't sit properly anymore, I don't remember the term but they gave the impression it was not salvageable.

From what I understand, 'disassembly' involved putting the boat through a chipper. The Bluenose 2 is not being restored, they are making a new boat using non-traditional techniques. I would have liked to have seen the BLII restored, or at least portions of it saved. I don't know the condition of the boat was in this video, but it seem to be floating reasonably well. I have restored older boats, but none that large. All this said, I am excited to see Bluenose III sail again.

@blaynklsajfds If you understand hogging you would see that the hull was beyond being restored. A small portion of the old planking and rotten frames were disposed of. We saved enough to be incorporated in the new interior, be installed in the new foyer of the new Bluenose Academy and we we are still giving away pieces of the old planking to visitors at the site. Close to 60,000 pieces of wood are now sitting on mantles all over the world. The non traditional methods will not be visible.

this makes me sick. What they did to this boat was a crime.

@blaynklsajfds If rebuilding this vessel to give it another 50 years of life, I can get behind that. What would you have done, tied it to the dock and slowly watch it rot away over 10 years.
