Storm Damaged Wave...

[#16276]

Here in the TC (Minneapolis area) we had a big windstorm last night - Trees down everywhere, power out, some houses totaled, etc..

My beloved 2000 Club Wave was staked down by our lakefront, mast up. After coming out of our basement I found it about 50 feet up the hill, on the other side of one retaining wall smashed into the next one, lying on it's side. Not good.

Looking at in the daylight, it appears only 3 things are broken, hopefully I'll get a couple pictures attached.
1) The left rudder is broken, replaceable.
2) The left hull is broken at the back crossbar - can't imagine it's fixable.
3) The lower mast is bent, probably six inches out of straight. Doubt this is straightenable, but don't know.

So, I'm looking for the following: sympathy, commiseration, thoughts on repairs, thoughts on getting replacement parts, ...

Or ideally, anyone else with a wrecked Wave who might want to make one good one out of two.

Thanks.
Joel K.

Looks like the hull needs to be replace for sure. I feel sure it cannot be repaired.

Dear Sir,

I need a rudder system for my Wave?
Are you interested in selling yours
from your damaged boat?

Thank you.
Rudy
