I do have health problems, however, these will not stop me from working on Chance,Chance is in a poor condition but with time and help from family and friends we will turn her about and get the work done. Just need more hands to do some of the heavier work.

Be careful in the warmer weather using a poly tunnel. I have one and despite thorough venting at both ends, in summer it can reach 35 -40 degrees. Those timbers are very dry and summer will make for hard hot work and drier timber. Although winter is on its way a tarp over the decks would be a good idea inside a tunnel. A new poly tunnel will usually have an anti condensation coating, but it wear's away with age and over night condensation builds up in big amounts and gravity drops it back down soaking every thing below. You can get a sun screen netting in various % of degrees of shade to reduce sun damage in the garden to keep things getting burnt and sun damaged. Relatively inexpensive and it allows air flow . Best of luck with it, Silvers were lovely Classic boats. But I fear it needs so much timber replacing it will be like Triggers Broom.

Thank you for your comments, I understand that a poly tunnel will get very hot in the summer, that's if we ever get a hot summer. I am going to try and put tarps over the boat this winter again and batten the ends around the edge of the decks where the rubbing strakes are in still in place and where they are not fix the battens to the planking which is due course will be replaced any way. All boats of Chance's age are like trigger Broom it is just a matter of how far you wish to go.
