Buoyancy tanks 3

Buoyancy tanks 3

This shows the wooden bouyancy tank 'plug' now trapped in place by the foredeck. The top is wrapped in clingfilm to prevent any foam overflow sticking to the wood.The white beam ahead of the wood is to hold the break in the tanks firm until the foam is set.

The tops of the hawse pipes can also be seen here. These are lengths of aluminium tube that run down to the anchor pockets. Working anchors aren't planned but the option is there.
