Re: Can you ID this yacht?

Re: Chainplate R&R on a 1979 glass hull

Update: was able to chip away the glass with a hammer and chisel and knife. These don't look as bad as I thought. Probably should still be replaced after 37 years...

Re: Beneteau 473 Rudder Bearing Replacement

I had a Jenneau 54 DS come apart on me in the middle of the pacific once. This is unrelated to your vibration (I'm assuming), but maybe worth a look while you're in this project.

Re: Chainplate R&R on a 1979 glass hull

Thanks for the reply!

So, you were able to get the old chainplates out of the hull? How difficult was that? I ask because maybe I can just unbolt mine and slide them up and out...not likely but...

Re: Catalina Bluewater

Great boat, I raced one in SoCal for two seasons before another boat dismasted us and the insurance covered it. Our 1972 boat was valued at over 8500.00 by the agency...total loss payout.

Re: Chainplate R&R on a 1979 glass hull

Interesting approach - I've heard it said before but I want to see it in practice. The logistical hurdle I see with this idea is: how to drill the holes precisely on the new plates when I can't...

Chainplate R&R on a 1979 glass hull

Looks like I had better open these up and take a sample of how much corrosion is going on inside...the boat still sails great - but this looks like a potential trouble point.

Does anyone know why...

Re: Refer Insulation

Re: Is Expedition Software off topic for this forum?
