Planta Genesta.

First job upon graduation has been a real surprise and privilege. Planta Genesta is a 32′ Morecambe Bay Prawner, built as a yacht on the Isle of Man in 1911. She was rescued from the chainsaw, simply because the previous owner had already done so much work in renewing much of the backbone and associated structure. Here she is in her ‘as found’ state in the process of being transported to Emsworth, where we have begun the rebuild in earnest.

I was hired to run the job of eventually seeing this vessel return to the water and in the next few posts I will present photographs of the replanking work to the hull as it progressed.
