Putting an old wooden boat back in the water

Restoring an old wooden boat means finding rot, waiting on parts and booking inspections, often in the same week. This project holds the hull, engine and fit-out lists, photos of the hull and engine, the volunteers' posts and chat, and the dates to relaunch day.

The Vesta Back in Steam project in Thicket over a photograph of a still lake at dawn with a wooden boat shed: the health flag reading On track, the restoration dates and six people, then six cards: the Message Board with the late boiler on top, Hull work as nine photographs of the launch's hull being replanked in the shed, To-dos with three lists on the progress chart, the Calendar with the plank days and the boiler test, Chat with the morning's planking, and The engine as nine photographs of the rebuilt steam engine in a workshop.

The Kinnear Lake Steamboat Society posts the plan, the hull survey and each week's news about Vesta on the Message Board and keeps the hull, the engine and boiler, and the fit-out as three lists in To-dos, each a dot on the progress chart. Photos of the hull and the rebuilt engine sit in two Docs & Files grids, the boiler test and relaunch day are on the Calendar, and the volunteers plan each day in the shed in Chat.
