At 70% of the core structure it is definitely a restoration with so much of the historic boat still there. Even 50% counts as restoration in my book.

It would be nice to see it doing some crossings to Dunkirk every May and June.

In my family we have a number of tools that have been around seemingly forever. One in particular is an axe. It’s as old as dirt. Its actual history is lost to the mists of time. We think that over the years it has been repaired and rebuilt many times. In living memory there have been a couple of new handles and at least one new head. But it’s the same old axe.

Here's my idea:

1. build a second frame which is a perfect replica of that of the original boat
2. remove whatever softwood that needs to be replaced, and replace it with fresh wood
3. take the old softwood, and attach it to the replica frame

in the end, you will have two vessels that are half-original, although only the restored original will be more seaworthy

It’s the heart and spirit of a boat that really matters.

So yes it is the same boat – this has actually already been to court on several ocasions – it's absolutely a restoration, there's more to a boat than its planking or its structure – it's an entitiy in itself. If you think about the amount of yachts sailing around the world with pretty much everything replaced on them it's not really that different. To to mention the famous long lasting hammer that had had several new heads and handles over the years :-)!

On the question of restoration of Southern Queen, I can not see the issue regarding this being a problem. If a peace meal patch up is attempted, then there will be no end of problems resulting in an eventual pile of firewood. Restoration to bring back the boat to it's ORIGINAL state must be worth the time and effort. In other words, do it properly or don't do it at all. Do we really want to lose another piece of our maritime history because of squabbles about degrees of restoration?

Ah yes. Restoration or replication. I reckon that if she can retain the percentage of her original timbers that you assert, then no question. It's a restoration. She's the same boat with substantially new planking. Consider. Old Mcdonald. He's been in the wars, has a glass eye, a prosthetic leg, has had a heart transplant, a new kidney, two new hips. He also sports a pathetic and immediately apparent, somewhat tatty old rug. But! He's still old Macdonald isn't he? I rest my case. and furthermore I don't actually care! save the old girl. She has a priceless history.

Triggers broom? I'd argue a replica is 90%+ items not in the original. A bit like a kit car. You are restoring. 🙂

With any boat you would have been replacing boards and stuff over time if it had been kept up with. It is just being done all at one time rather than over a span of years. I'm leaning toward it's the same boat, original, but with upgrades and refurbishing just like Cadoha.
