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)" |

Hi Dave:
Kim Desenberg did the Desperado bulkhead structural repair in 1994 at NCY for around a quoted $1800 that turned out to be more like $3000 . . . its probably a lot more now at KKMI.
The Lighten Up was repaired earlier than Desperado and uses a similiar method . . .albeit less bullet proof than the Desperado's overbuild.
Jason from Moxie used the bolt two pieces of plywood to the bulkhead method and did it himself. Let me know when your around Brickyard Harbor and I'll meet you there to see the repair.
Mike
:: Mike,

:: Who did your repairs? Also, do you have any photos? I

:: :: Hi: Dave:
:: ::
:: :: The rig of you boat is compressing through the deck and
:: :: warping the upper horizontal bridge of support.
:: ::
:: :: The legs which hold up the horizontal support on the
:: :: front side of the bulkhead may also be warping . . .and
:: :: the bulkhead in plane can itself warp and buckle.
:: ::
:: :: The first 30 boats all suffered this compression issue .
:: :: . . where the legs of the support do not tranverse the
:: :: flat plane of the V-berth all the way down to within an
:: :: inch of the hull. Your's may or may not. Mine do now.
:: ::
:: :: I had the horizontal wood pieces fore and aft removed,
:: :: the vertical legs removed, new full length legs forward,
:: :: partial legs aft.
:: ::
:: :: Beefy'er timber was used on the Deperado's upgrade. Some
:: :: people simply sandwiched the bulkhead with two pieces of
:: :: marine plywood.
:: ::
:: :: A jack is sometimes used to push the bulk head
:: :: upstraight again prior to regluing the new beefy'er
:: :: supports.
:: ::
:: :: Mike
:: ::
:: ::
:: :: ::
:: :: :: I've got a small crack in my bulkhead. Anyone else seen
:: :: :: similar problems? I've got some ideas of how to fix it,
:: :: :: but want to see if anyone else has some prior experience
:: :: :: with this repair on these boats.
