The seams are sealed with battens (using Thicol) which are bolted with stainless steel nuts and bolts. The 1962 Richardson MY 43 shown on an earlier post is indeed a nice boat as I have had a very close look at her but the engines are suspect and I had to turn it down. |
Anyone interested in a partially restored 36 foot Richardson aluminum plank? Teak & mahogany - stored inside for many years. Email me....
