No not mine but my Jarrah Planked Marko Sambrailo
hull has several forward ribs that have cracked. I am not sure why as they look very good otherwise and they appear bone dry. Could they have cracked from being too dry?
Of course my question is what to do to
repair them? Do I have to replace the whole
rib or can I
repair across the crack? Do they need to be pulled together to keep tension on the
hull planks? That is do I need to close the gap before re fixing? Could I for example secure 'U' channel
steel around the
rib and secure it in place?
All suggestions and
advice gratefully accepted.
Cheers,
Martin
