Now that fall is well underway and winter not far behind, it is time to get down to the nuts and bolts (or at least the screws) of Spark‘s restoration and refit. As all the easily accessible screws are badly corroded and in bad shape, I am considering completely re-doing all her fasteners. As an older series 1 boat, I would like to know what size screws they would have used at Bell Woodworking before I start undoing them. Would these be #6 or #8 that hold the ply to the ribs and stringers?
From memory (but it was over 40 years ago) the panels were attached with No 6 screws, I’m not sure whether they were 3/4 or 1″ long.
I concur with Norman’s recollection. My impression is that 3/4″ 6 gauge screws were the usual standard at that time (for securing the plywood to the framework), but nowadays that size seems rather large, and I would naturally think that 5/8″ 6 is a better size. That is not necessarily passing comment on the choices made by the builders of that era; I don’t think 5/8″ screws were readily available then, but I think they are now.
That is always provided that either the screw holes of the frames and stringers are in good condition or alternatively that you are drilling and plugging them to give a good new substrate.

Average salary for jobs in Insurance compared to the average salary for all jobs posted to graduate-jobs.com
Insurance offers many opportunities for professional development along with challenging careers and excellent salaries. The sector is primarily divided between roles in Brokering, Underwriting and Actuarial. With such a variety of roles, Insurance welcomes graduates from all degree backgrounds.
Many of the larger Insurance companies are in London, so candidates eager to work for one of the bigger organisations must be prepared to relocate to the city. Many firms offer summer programmes or internships, which are an excellent way for graduates to gain experience and make their applications stand out.
There are three main areas to the Insurance sector: Brokering, Underwriting and Actuarial. Although these do not require a specific degree, Insurance companies do look for a high standard of academic achievement and may request GCSE and A level results.
While many of the skills required in Insurance are applicable across all three areas, each has its own specific requirements.
Insurance Brokers are responsible for organising Insurance policies with clients and customers. Candidates for these roles need to be confident and capable salespeople, with excellent customer service skills. They need to be able to build and maintain client relationships.
Candidates should demonstrate an understanding of clients' needs and expectations. They need to be organised and capable of preparing reports and liaising between departments.
Insurance Underwriters produce policies for clients. They are responsible for assessing risks, deciding what a client will pay, how much coverage they will receive, and finally whether it is in the company's interests to accept the risk and insure the client. Each Underwriter is presented with a company-specific set of guidelines to help them.
For these roles, graduates need to be meticulous with their work. Candidates must possess sharp analytical skills and be able to thoroughly assess the positives and negatives of a particular policy for a specific client. Their communication needs to be perfect, with no room for lack of clarity in drafting policies.
Actuarial is concerned with calculating risks and uncertainties. Actuaries use probabilities, maths, economics, science, and computer science to determine the extent of the risk. Their work affects the premiums and overall cost of a client's policy.
It is essential that candidates demonstrate extreme accuracy and attention to detail. While an Actuary's work is mainly financial, there are opportunities to work in other areas such as risk assessment. All roles require precision work and an excellent grasp of numerical systems and formulas. Candidates should also demonstrate problem-solving skills and interpersonal skills to aid in dealing with clients.
