Thank you. Working on this part of the hull is pretty easy since it is pretty much at chest height. The next project is at the shear line on the fore deck which requires working on a ladder or staging. That makes it much less fun.
It looks like you may have invented a new way to caulk a seam! AS far as being unorthodox with the seam putty, i think that if the boatbuilders back in the day would have had it they would have used it.
It is possible that boat builders back then might have used some new fangled methods, but boat builders are pretty conservative. That is particularly true of modern wooden boat fanciers who seem to think that if a method wasn't in use 2,000 years ago that it shouldn't be used now.

you have to have the most well taken care of boats. Lots of hard work.
Thank you for the kind words. I try.
Looks like a labor of love, but it is still labor!
Nice work!

Excellent alternative. Have you ever followed up on your projects to see if the patch was still functioning well?
I have been making this sort of repair for the last 15 years with zero issues.
You will find it in February lol
No doubt my caulking iron will turn up as soon as I finish caulking the last seam.
