Re: Cheeki Rafiki loss report

More likely the builder simply torqued to a different spec. Probably they torqued to the lubricated rating and your yard torqued to the dry rating. 3/4 turn is quite a bit.

Re: Cheeki Rafiki loss report

Malbert and Neil seem to have covered most of the salient points. I'll just add that despite torquing a lot of keel bolts, sistering bolts, and replacing bolts on bolt on lead keels, I have seen far...

Re: Cheeki Rafiki loss report

That's exactly what I mean, as I have told you many, many times. McDonalds is also the market leader when it comes to burgers-doesn't mean they have good food. Quite the opposite. These boats are the...

Please post Bene's protocol for repairing failed liner bonds. Also please post your "Ecography" pics.

Re: Cheeki Rafiki loss report

For the last time, the defect is that it is extremely difficult and expensive to inspect for this kind of damage, and when found it is extremely difficult and expensive to repair. CR, for instance,...

Re: Cheeki Rafiki loss report

I think anyone fresh to this debate would be confused by Polux' attitude, as Muckle Flugga clearly was. I think this is because he and others are probably unaware of the amount of effort Polux has...

Re: Cheeki Rafiki loss report

There are a wide variety of methacrylates and other products in use for liner bonding. Some do have long open times; these are what are commonly used for liner bonding. But it's still impossible to...

Re: Cheeki Rafiki loss report

Agree. Encapsulated keels come with their own set of problems. Lead bolt on wins hands down. Cast iron is for suckers who don't know any better.

Re: Cheeki Rafiki loss report

You can heat any quality layup to 185F without damage. I often do when using the Hotvac method. You will note that major paint manufacturers have produced color temp charts for their paint. These are...

Re: Cheeki Rafiki loss report

If your boat had a full hull liner, you wouldn't even be able to inspect it. Nor would anyone else. The methods of inspection that keep being mentioned here are cost prohibitive for anything but...

I really don't have the time to waste on this, but lest anyone actually believe this dreck, I would just like to state as someone who regularly uses NDT to inspect boat damage, this person has...

Re: Cheeki Rafiki loss report

I do believe I've made my opinion on this very clear many times before. Won't waste breath doing so yet again. I don't have the available time of many of the amateurs here, I'm too busy running one...
