TOPIC: Dorsett pictures

OK take two, here is a few pictures - a little bit of progress yesterday removing the rotted wood from the transom - my buddy is a master woodworker and came and had a look and gave me some encouragement by saying the wood repairs are an easy fix (well, for him I guess) there is some rot in the internal deck area but after opening up a small section I can see this too is fixable. Thank the lord for fiberglass - if this was a wood boat it would not be salvageable.

One of the plexiglass front windows is broken - is it possible to make new ones by heating and bending the plexiglass or do I need to locate a new one? Hoping I can buff out the others.

Andrew Gott wrote an excellent article on making a new windshield, here's a link to it in the Research / Restoration section;

John Gambill also contributed a great pictorial on saving the old ones;
