| 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)" |

That's good advice, especially if you see indications of a problem. A surveyor can tell you how serious it is. Even if you don't, it's a good idea to get a survey. It's not easy to tell how much water is in the deck by visual inspection. Some moisture is to be expected in nearly all boats. The issue is where and how much. A bit of moisture or rot around a couple of fittings is easy to repair yourself. More extensive moisture and/or dry rot is something for a professional.
