This is an old fibreglass rowing boat which I am converting to a sailing dinghy.

All the timber is rotted and needs to be replaced . I have located aluminium boom which needs to be extended to make a mast . I have a tiller and a sail. The sail needs to be reshaped cut and stitched .
I have made a center board from solid elm also have to complete the center board casing and cut a slot in the bottom of the boat.

I made a launching trolley and attached some handlebars from an old bike

I am try to locate an old sailing dinghy to get some more parts

Interesting project, if you like you can PM me some photos of your project and I will post them up for the other sailor types to look at and point you in the right direction.
Try some of your local sailing clubs they might have an old dinghy.
