2012 - 2014 IMPROVEMENTS:

HULL REPAIRS:

• 2014 Keel Repair: The keel was cleaned and inspected. A “patch” was found at the base of the keel that was admitting water. The base of the keel was removed and rebuilt with closed cell foam. Material was applied in staggered steps so no two joints fall in the same place, adding two layers of material to each lift. From the bottom to the top each layer was built up a bit larger than the one under it. The end result is 14 layers on the very bottom, tapering to two layers at the top with all joints staggered by 2"at least. The bottom is around 1" thick solid over the foam. The yard used vinylester resin which is more resistant to water absorption than polyester.
• 2014 Hull Inspection and Repairs: A thorough assessment of the hull revealed some blistering. The hull was planed, the blisters dried out and the voids were filled. The hull and keel were faired with 3M fairing compound, and were painted with Interprotect.
• 2012 Replaced through hulls including sea cocks.
