| 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)" |

It's pricy, about $225 a sheet. You can add another $100 if you want the "holly" stringers of the original floorboards. I used the old boards as a template but made the whole sole just one board with access to the hauling yoke and bilge water.
I put 5 coats of marine grade varnish on. Be sure to do the sides even though 3/4" thick, all ends, cut-out and all because these are end grains that soak up water in a heartbeat. Also, once you drill for fastening to the stringers, drop varnish into the holes to seal them too.
You will be pleased with the outcome, makes the yacht look new!

>>Just wondering if anyone has had to replace the cabin floor in their boat. Mine is in deplorable shape and I think relpacing it will be much easier than attempting to restore it. What brands has anyone used? What to look for? Comments, experiences....I would love to hear them.
