Description
The restoration of Martindale began in 2011. To date, replacement or restoration of her deck, lighting and power, engine, propellor shaft and bearings have been completed. The restoration of the galley, saloon, staterooms and bathrooms is in progress.
Making the deck watertight was the first step in the restoration. The beech decking installed over the teak was replaced as it could not be repaired. Once this was complete, work could begin below.
A replacement engine was found - at the bottom of Sydney Harbour. It was salvaged from a boat that sunk in Berrys Bay early in 2010. The engine, an 8-cyl Gardner, was completely stripped and rebuilt before being installed in 2012.
