Yes Yes Yes, Uwe has done it! It looks very nice. It must have been a great relief when you could take them apart.I did it - and I give a s... what Kitty will say (maybe she was only hungry when she made the MIAU)

the pencil marks on both sides of the cut mark the location of the lowest wale
I started on both sides from midship and worked towards the bow and backwards towards the stern
View attachment 343437
a view from inside - appr. half the way the cut is done and you can hardly see the sawblade
the cut was done just above the clamps for the mortar bed beams
View attachment 343438
also from inside but the phone camera was located through the mortar opening in the deck structure - here you can see the saw blade better

left side was cut up to the stern post

- now the other side ..... but
I realized, that the area close to the stern, where no deck structure was fixed, is too weak. I had to stop with the cut.
I have to find a solution ......
The deck strcture at the stern is no sultion, because it will slightly lower than the cut - so I decided to install the upper row of the wale from stern towards midship - at this stage it was also good, that I marked before already the location

you can never have enough clamps
in the following photo you can see the open area where no deck structure is fxed

This action made the upper part stiff enough, so I was able to go forward with the cut
and finally - DONE
