Plan of Action

There are many steps to the repair of this boat, and each need to be taken in order so as to not risk the shape and integrity the boat has.
Our first priority is to replace her steel ribs. These cannot be removed all at once, but in sections. The first step is to replace the bulk of the half-ribs running into the bilge. Then to replace every other of the complete ribs until all are replaced.
These are being fabricated in 304 stainless at a workshop on Gotland using the old ribs as patterns. They will be dry fitted and then fastened to the planking with 316 stainless bolts after passivation. The ribs will be isolated from the wood with "tar-paper".
Once all the ribs are in place we will install stainless-steel "doublers" to some of her deck beams, tying the ribs together at deck level. This will in effect create ring-frames in stainless at some of th emore highly stressed points of the boat. This is not really necessary for her as she is rigged but will allow us to re-rig later with a more powerful rig... If she shows potential!
The floors will be welded in later after we have removed the hog. We will bolt some temporary floors to hold the boat until then.
Fitting the ribs rquires that we remove the covering-board on deck and the garboard. Once the ribs are in place the repairs to the planking will start. These are fairly comprehensive:
1. The sheer strake will need replaced - we will be using Siberian larch for all the planking repairs. We will also need to scarf some repairs into the deck-ends of some of the oak ribs.
2. All joints in the planking are currently butt-joints: most of which are in poor condition. We will cut these out and scarf new pieces in. This will be both stronger and stiffer than the original, and less likely to rot in the future. The scarfs will be glued with epoxy.
3. The seams on the original planking that is to be saved will be splined with epoxy and the larch.
At an appropriate time in this process - depending on how many planks are to be replaced - the repair to the stem and sternpost will be done.
4. The planks below the waterline will be replaced with larch - but we'll wait with the garboard and maybe the next. They will be be prepared as tight-seam and glued using Simpson or something similar.

Next: the hog!
We need to lift the boat from the keel and the hog will follow with the keel. Using a combination of the old hog, measurements from the boat now, and when the new ribs are in place we will cut a new piece of oak.
While the hog is out we can weld the floors to the ribs.
Thankfully the keel-bolts look in great condition!
Then fit the hog, drop the hull back onto the keel, fit the garboards, sand and fill all the holes, sand and paint!
Then we move on deck- fit a new covering-board, tidy the deck, remake the cabin roof, a new cockpit, sand and varnish, then toe-rails.
After which is just a finish of the topsides....Stick her in the water and rig her ( obviously we may find time to throw some varnish at the spars) then sail to Nynashamn for the Regatta.

Not a long list really - just very time consuming with the careful removal of the ribs and re-fitting. The rest should go quite quickly!
