Emily Harris continues the restoration of the schooner Malabar IV, focusing on the installation of the final three frames.8:00 The team uses a laser level and string lines to ensure the frames remain parallel and centered.8:21 Because the propeller shaft prevents the use of through-bolts in this section of the hull, the crew secures the frames to the horn timber using half-inch bronze drifts.9:00 The project has progressed through the installation of sawn, laminated, and steamed frames, with approximately one-third of the planking complete.9:46 Harris manages the build alongside volunteer assistants, including Sam, who joined for two months to learn traditional boatbuilding techniques.10:59 Despite a temporary work stoppage during the summer due to family obligations, the project maintains momentum.5:00 Harris seeks a buyer to commission the vessel and provide the funding necessary to accelerate construction, with the goal of completing the hull in time to race in the Fastnet.16:01
