| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28. "My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton. My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell. So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

:: Soliticing some advice on two repair topics. First, i've
:: got some minor gouges where the old pads use to make
:: contact with the hull. Laminate is exposed but not
:: damaged. I'm thinking of using 3M vinylester to fill in
:: the area and then have it spray gelcoated to best match
:: the original color. Was thinking another route was to
:: just use a matched color gelcoat paste and fill and
:: fair.
::
:: Second, I've noticed some surface blisters under the old
:: pads. I don't know if these are worth even bothering
:: with but I'm thinking of lightly scraping/popping,
:: drying and refilling the section with either a
:: vinylester or again the gelcoat paste. Afterwards,
:: covering the pads with Poly sheeting to prevent moisture
:: retention.
::
:: Thanks!
No help on the repair, but for prevention I use closed cell foam from a camping sleeping pad. It has a 1/2" compression to spread the load on the hull and doesn't retain water
