I've embarked on a restoration of an ex commercial fishing vessel, (Toms, 1980,s). The superstructure has been removed & it has been reduced to hull only. The ribs are rotted along the deck line & will require doubling up. Currently the hull is secured on an estuary beach at the HW mark, so gets wetted. 2 x daily, preventing drying out which I'm told you should avoid. However part of logic says one should get the hull on the dry, properly supported & undercover ( problem around here), though it may be out of the water for up to 4 years whilst works are undertaken.
Any advice on wether best to restore in the dry or let hull continued to be Wetted by sea water.
