I did my windows this spring with the 3M VHB tape and sealant.  I went to Arrow construction in Burnside and they no longer carried the Dow line of sealants -- but the guy at the counter showed me spec's on the Dow sealant vs the brand they now carry Pecora

Discovered over the weekend that my mast blew off the rack at the boat yard over the winter.  Landed on a lower level rack and dented the side of my mast - several feet above the gooseneck. Dent is maybe 5cm long and 3cm wide - max depth of about 3mm. Met with insurance surveyor today - he

I used dark tint on my windows - can't see in for the most part.  But, when the sun was on the right angle I could easily see through the plexi and see where I was not very accurate with spraying the backs of the windows. In my case the fiberglass
