VESSEL: 1947 - 25' Folkboat Sloop "TJOCKIS"

OWNER: Klaas Tebbens, Ontario, Canada

PROJECT: Remove and replace approx. 20 ribs (scarfe repairing lower ribs where possible), 15 planks, numerous planking scarfe repairs, 5 floortimbres, additional floortimbre sections, keelson, sternpost, keelbolts, partial transom, decks, superstructure, cockpit, interior, rubrails, toerails and hatches. A rebuilt 7 H.P. inboard engine is to be installed. The entire vessel is to be completely refastened, recaulked and refinished inside and out.

The conclusion of the project ..........

The new laminated winch blocks are being cut and sculpted to the coamings.
"Tjockis" is hand-painted on the transom prior to the final coat of varnish.
Deb is beginning to apply the first of two coats of royal blue topside enamel.
All topside and cockpit britework is sanded and given 6 coats of Epifanes varnish.
Here, the first of 4 coats of rubberized (non-slip, non-glare) paint is being applied to the cabintop and decks.
"Tjockis" is now complete except for assembly and hardware installation.
This view of the aft cockpit shows the beautiful curved coamings and the engine controls neatly installed below the starboard decks.
Looking forward into the v-berth with forward shelving and new fitted cushions in place.
The starboard galley has a removeable countertop with a stainless steel sink and faucet beneath.
The faucet swings down so the entire assembly is neatly hidden below the countertop.
Now complete with all her original rechromed hardware, she is loaded onto our hydraulic trailer and taken outside.
This close-up of the foredeck shows the beautiful forward hatch, mast collar and forward cabin.
The bottom has been thoroughly sealed, primed and then painted with bronze antifouling.
This view of the cockpit shows how the aft cabintop curves into the coamings.
This close-up shows the beautiful lovely curves in the winch blocks.
The new main hatch was built to match the bulkheads and cockpit lockers. Her original wooden nameplate was refinished and mounted on the hatch. We managed to save and refinish the 3 original louvered washboards.
"Tjockis" and her mast are secured onto our trailer for delivery to Sarnia, Ontario.
