Hey All,
I'm very impressed with the
refit work being done.
Found Leela blog pages. Great
project documentation. Added some info.
How are the rest of your projects coming?
Are there any other blog pages or sites documenting Union 36 projects & restorations? Am on several
forums, but so far the blog has been the best.
Anyone have the link for the site that posted tank measurements?
I'm interested as I'm trying to sort possible
restoration of one, although these
boats are not new to me. Sailed them on
SF Bay, and up and down the coast. Still very helpful to see what solutions others have chosen, and how implemented.
By the way, I think it's well worth it, as the
boat sails very balanced, and the
hull is extremely stout. Was asked to
captain someone's 50 ft something vessel once, I said no thanks after seeing the hull flex.
Hull
layup schedules are rarely done as thick as these were. Understand some have had to deal with
blisters, fortunately new technology makes that easier. We caught
epoxy barrier coat
blisters, and on the grind down found
mold release still. Kept going, went into laminate, exposed any voids & faired back up with
epoxy fairing putty, then 5 coats barrier coat, and has held up well.
Appreciate the nuggets you've shared, and happy to do same, if there's anything I can add.
Happy Sailing
