Re: Mystery 12 foot boat

Hello Laura.


After getting my copied jib I realised that the previous owners DIY had changed the length of the shrouds and forestay with odd bits of hardwares. The mast wasn't perpendicular to...

Re: Mystery 12 foot boat

That's funny.
I don't recall mentioning that I cut holes in the deck. Wonder how you knew.

Re: Cored deck new inspection hole

A+

I knew that technique for removing rot. But of course I can use it for the wet foam as well.

Hi all.

I own a 12 foot sailboat that I am refitting for next summer.

Great story.

Cost more? I know so and expect so. I am bracing myself for the sticker shock.

No. Not a mystery anymore.

Re: Mistery 12 foot boat

Thank you.

A spelling mistake. I do try to be careful.

Re: Mistery 12 foot boat
