AWB 436

I had the privilege to do some work on this 40ft army workboat built-in 1942 in Williamstown, Victoria. This video is compiled of aerials and footage on the hard stand over a week. During the week her hull was cleaned and antifouled, the restoration of her cabin was begun by extensive sanding and everdure, where her rubbing strakes are meant to be had to be sanded, caulked, and painted. Bilge has to be cleaned, scraped, sanded & painted and then her Gardener 6xl was installed, yet to be connected. The Boat is owned by a mate of mine who has been working on her for some time.
