Great history and clearly a much loved model. I think I would have reached the same stage as you last pic as the model was clearly in need of a complete rebuild. The remaining pieces look nice and solid and with some sanding on the exposed inside should clean up well. The two halves will bond together well with a suitable adhesive. If you then apply some cloth and fibreglass layup resin the hull will be as good as new. If you are keeping the white hull you could also cover the outside. The keel looks like it fits in a slot in the hull. Should be relatively simple to make a deck following the original plan and you could should you choose to, step the mast at the keel. I do like the 1930's style fixings.
It would be a crime to even consider burning such a classic model and I look forward to seeing it restored. dave976 ▲

Wow,
Me thinks that your work rates a wee bit more than a "restoration" Beautifully done! Very pretty yacht. ▲

Major restoration no doubt. I'm not sure looking at the pictures I would have even started in the first place.Your skills to visulize the boat go above most.I'm thinking it must have been a labor of love as a family member had built years ago.
