  • MN3It's gonna be the strongest part of the boat for sure!~

    I'll have to label it - stand here if you must!

    I wonder if I can change the title of this thread. It is not really a failure anymore, I think.

  • The layup is cured. Looks good. Here is a short video.

    I'd say it is sailable now, though we still need to sand and paint a little bit.

    I used coarse dry paper at first and worked up to wet sanding. Then paint.

    We used the same stuff the prior owner painted the boat with. There is at least one run, not sure if I care or not.

  • OUTSTANDING!
  • Great job!!
  • Damned skippy! Very good/over built job. Time to sail. If you "need" to make it look good, eventually cover it with PVA foam, I guess. But, I'd likely just get paint to match and sail the heck out of it.

  • Thanks for the positive comments guys. I can report that not only did the repair hold up whilst sailing, I also sat on it to paddle from the beach to the boat launch.

    Chuck, we bought the same exact paint the prior owner used. So we are already on that trajectory. It looks good, though you can tell it is a little flatter than the rest of the hull.
