Replating Dover

NB Dover, featured in a TV series about fitting out a few years ago, has been up on the hard standing at Braunston Marina for a while. In a quiet moment I wandered over for a look.  She's having new plate welded on between the baseplate and just above the waterline for most of the length of the boat.  I wonder if the insulation and internal fitting out survive that sort of treatment, or will she need another refit?

On the way back to the marina you often see ducks, sometimes in a row.  These are the first seagulls in a row that I have seen on this stretch though...
