Re: Stus-List Water Stained Floor Board

Hi Rob, Is the spot just stained or is the wood also showing some rot and structural weakening?  If the latter is the case, you may want to inject some penetrating epoxy into the area to strengthen it in addition to refinishing the surface. Graham YoungS/V SpellboundC 32  On Wednesday,

Re: Stus-List Jacklines/Harnesses/Tethers

Agreed, being very familiar with how your equipment works and regularly inspecting it for soundness is good practice.  The middle of an emergency is not the time to figure out how your gear works Anecdotes (or case studies) are data points that provide qualitative data.  It is correct that

As Dave said, it may very well be cosmetic.  Just the same, would it make sense to reinforce this area of the hull if for nothing other than peace of mind?  Not sure if this would be over-kill or not.  Earlier in the thread mention was made of the boat builder/marina founder who used to repair

An over-tensioned rig and/or weak laminate is also one of the explanations that Don Casey gives for dimples near the chain plates in his book on inspecting old boats.  He also points out that "hard spots" may result from the hull flexing over an internal structure like a bulkhead.  This may be

It appears that there are differing reports from the literature.   Sailboatdata.com has the draft at 4.2' for shoal and 5.00' for standard.  In any case, it appears that the shoal is somewhere between 4'3" and 4'6" and that theory holds a bit in practice of the owners, but the shoal still points
