Vern,
Boy, t5hat S@#$S.
I would be a very unhappy camper if that happened to me. Good luck,
and hope that the repairs go good.

Boy, Vern, that really sucks big time!
Presumably, the marina owner takes full responsibility for the damage and
will cover all the repair costs? I'm sure there's no comeback in terms of
the value of lost sailing time but given the way you describe he never told
you about old pilings I'd hate
Depending on what you find, oil soaked rags may make a temp seal. I use non

Wondering if the stern locker is full from the skeg breaking off and if the
water looked like it wasn't going down because it was coming from there as I
pumped it out. I guess I will find out soon. 2 pump should almost be
enough to pump the whole river out.

Ouch. Sorry to hear, Vern.
big hole...
Bring some gloves. The underside, not to mention any possible jagged edges,
won't help your hands.

To work best (anywhere close to spec) a pump needs the lowest restriction on
the outlet possible. Means use as big a hose as the pump will take
Good stuff. On the MKII there is really no areas of egress for water in
the stern, no through hull fittings and motor/s are outboard. Only thing
is the skeg which is bolted through the hull which wouldn't be enough
that big pumps couldn't handle.
The tarp is probably the best idea as it would
I need help. I have a 30' Iroquois Catamaran that is taking on water.
It's a 75 MKII. Previous owner had taken the berth out of the port hull so I
have full access with the board I used to hold the bed removed. Slip is really
shallow and with the lack of rain the boat was sitting on the
Hi, Vern,
That sucks, for sure.
As to the waterbed mattresses, yes, if you don't hole those in the same way
(assuming there's something there which caused a hole). Waterbeds are tough,
but not designed to resist puncture by dedicated force (spent 30+ years on
