Hello list, We're three days into a minor refurbishing. Compounding out many years of oxidation (the boat is older than I am, to be fair), fixing some dock rash, and recoring the cockpit bench at the cabin entrance. I'm sure there is a boat word for that. At any rate, the instructions and

No traveler at all! Nor genoa tracks, for that matter. This might be a good opportunity to add a main traveler. Guests really like that area, though, so that's a trade off. We don't race, and I haven't missed the genoa tracks all that much. At worst, the lack of pointing with the toerail blocks

Is your traveler fitted at the companionway seat? If so all of the mounting holes penetrate the sandwich construction and any one can be a source of rot. There are at least 10. Yes, another place of plywood use. bd On Fri, Jun 15, 2018 at 8:43 AM, Stephen Kidd via CnC-List <

With the explanations in mind, I took a more informed look at the mast step. First, I removed the plastic hole covers from the coach room. I poked around with a paper clip and it is definitely epoxied in there. The other forward one was cleaner and also only epoxy visible. The aft holes showed no

Determine the rotted area by moisture meter or by tapping with a hammer, etc. When you do the peel, go an inch or so outside the rotted area. That leaves a ledge of good core. Replace the core ensuring that the replacement material is finished to the same elevation as the good core ledge. Tape

I have not done a peel but I do know the design (25-2) at the step and arch support below. A coosa board product spanning the arch space in the cabin would add much greater strength than factory. Also fastened into the bulkheads hidden between the headliner and mast step with 316 SS stock. The

OK, you need to overbore and fill all the deck penetrations on the cabin top. All, even ones that may be a bit remote from the deck step. Water can find its way to strange places. Here's how to do it: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_sb5TfIENvsckZCTFA0aDM5cGc Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83

Bill, you are going to love the 25; it is a stiff boat that will dig in and accelerate on a breeze; it as a "big boat" feel to it; it can carry a lot of sail in heavy winds, you just have to learn the art of "feathering"... I bought a 25 II that came from Lake Travis many years ago and
