Restoring a clinker built Huon Pine dinghy

lundi 4 janvier 2016

I'm currently restoring a clinker built Huon Pine dinghy, it's sound but has opened up considerably. I am scraping it back and pulling out as much old caulk I can, and am after advice as to whether to sink the boat in fresh or salt water, how long soaking would be enough and after that what would be the best caulking to use. I would rather not use a silicon type product, rather a traditional method.

picture below shows a plank split along its fastenings. I plan to scarf and glue a section.

I am not used to restoring old timber boats and appreciate any advice .
