The long process of carefully removing the small timber plugs that cover the plank fastenings on the 1962 vintage, International Dragon Yacht Looe is about two fifths done. Each bung has to be precisely chiselled out in small pieces to avoid damaging the surrounding plank, or the screw under it and present a clean hole for a new bung to be tapped back into place once all the frames have been either removed and repaired, or removed and replaced. To this end each line of screws that fasten the planks to the frames must be removed as each frame is dealt with. In all there are about 4000 bungs that must be removed for reframing to proceed quickly once underway.
These two bungs took a while. However, some can be removed with a few short taps with the chisel and mallet.
The music in the video was being played on ABC Classic FM at the time. It's the Oboe Concerto by the 70 year old Australian Composer Roger Smalley. The soloist is Joel Marangella with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra under the direction of the composer.
