daggerboard case lining

[Nessa]

I offered to reseal a daggerboard case on a friend's europe only to find there is a considerable amount of rotten wood both on one side of the case and in the front end. As far as I can see the only real solution would be to reline the affected area, but I'm not sure I'm up to the task.

Any suggestions.

If it has so much rot I think I'd replace the lot as its quite likely there's some rot in the hog as well. I usually find the thought of such jobs is worse than getting on and doing them!

the whole thing looks dodgy, it has been leaking like a sieve.

Don't do half the job but start at the beginning and just work through it.
Alternatively host another great event and Roger and I will bring our tool kits!

[Nessa]

that's a good offer! We will certainly be running a cvrda event again, maybe even a National Rally if asked, but I think this job needs doing a little sooner! The thing is, I have no idea where to start with it.

Can you get some photos showing which parts are affected? I'm sure my Dad could find suitable offcuts to make up a new case or just the packing pieces if its saveable.
