I’ve just added a description of my bout with replacing the main bulkhead that separates the engine compartment from the main cabin. Look under Alita>Engine.

Next inner plank
I’ve finished installing the second inner plank on the starboard side. A summary can be found under Alita Restoration > Planking
Update
I’ve updated the article titled “Replacing Double Planking” – some clarifications and corrections.
Content Added: Engine related
I’ve added pages related to the diesel engine that came with the boat, including details of a complete rebuild.
New Content Related to Planking
I’ve added two articles related to replanking the hull, which is my current endeavor.
Planking > Resawing Planking Stock
Planking > Plugging Old Fastener Holes
New Content Added: Replacing the Double Planking
Although my web site has been dormant for several months (mostly due to technical problems), I have been busy. In particular, I replaced the main engine bulkhead, replaced two of the 8 laminated frames, and replaced the first of the double planks.
You can read about the double planks under “Planking > Replacing Double Planking.”
I’ve added some other (mostly historical) content as well. So explore the site and let me know what you think.
Website Change
The original website for the Alita Restoration Project was at www.cse.psu.edu/~dunn. Although this site is still viewable (as of 8/25/2015), I can no longer add content to the site.
So I’ve created a new site (this one), which I hope to keep up to date. Eventually, I hope to port the old content to the new site, but there is a lot of it. So it will take some time!
