I could only conclude that almost every components of Michel Selig was rotten. The task I faced was not to restore, but to re-build completely. - A complete re-build or a component by component replacement? Given my age and my health, I knew that I would never be able to constru20ct a new Michel Selig. The approach of replacing individual components of a deformed hull seemed unwise and extremely time consuming for a mediocre finished product. I therefore chose a complete re-build, hoping that I would advance sufficiently to motivate a successor to finish the re-build. In building a Six, one usually works on the hull upside down. The planking is the fourth layer of the construction process. The layers are: -a set of vertical "moulds" which establish the shape of the hull: Moulds of the 2011 replica of the Six "Nirvana" (or "Seasta") designed by Olin Stephaens and built by Yachtwerft Robbe & Berking Classics GmbH & Co.KG of Germany - a set of horizontal "ribbands" which create the form of the boat:
Ribbands of Nirvana - the vertical "frames or "timbers which are steamed to the point of being pliable and then attached to the ribbands: Frames cooled and hardened after being attached to the ribbands - and finally the planks which are usually attached to the frames by rivets. I hoped toget to the point of creating the moulds which would have permitted my successor to set them up and proceed to the following stages. d. Lofting The sequences of steps for producing the moulds are: - taking off the lines of the hull (discussed above) - drawing the plans of the hull - lofting or laying off: drawing the plans on a 1:1 scale,
