| 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)" |

Do not use epoxy, use vinylester resin so you can use gel coat on the exterior I think too many people use epoxy when it should be the resin the boat was built with. Having repaired a lot of boats were the owner or repair shop used epoxy and I redid with vinylester. Different story if is a epoxy boat of course.
Just my thoughts. If you are interested ping me?
:: I have removed the instruments out of the express but
:: wanted to fill in the holes left by doing so.
::
:: Has anyone done this? What I was more worried about is
:: what to use as a filler so the interior looks ok. Is a
:: wood plug with fiberglass best? I normally use foam as
:: the filler with epoxy and fiberglass both sides.
