Knees

Considering her age Crocus has very little rotten wood but the two knees in the cockpit needed to be replaced. The internal layout of her cabin was originally set out as a full berth ...

and with the new plans being for two single berths it means we have some spare mahogany from under the central cushions which can be used to make things! After much measuring and getting angles correct the new knees were made from the spare wood which had been glued together to make a block and then cut to shape ...

Test fit and yes they will be just right ...
