Thanks guys. Rigging is fine. The rudder is missing a corner. I haven't checked the centerboard yet. If the rudder is damaged, hard to imagine the...
We did retrieve her. It was me in 40° water and 40° weather removing the sail, righting, and pulling it 1/4 mile to the nearest ramp. I think the...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Well... I may have a lot more work to do. Took the boat out today and wind kicked up 25-30 mph gusts. The story is funnier while...
[ATTACH] compression post - very rough rendering
I wish I’d taken pictures. I’ll get on my computer later for a rough rendering. Basically teak bottom that straddles the spine and sits on the...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] It was something of a bear to do the drilling, countersinking, replacement. I did both sides. One gasket...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Today I replaced the centerboard gasket. Using the old plastic as a jig I drilled and countersunk holes in aluminum. Rather...
Hey guys, Thanks for the nudges. I've actually been doing a little work this month. It is so damn hot in Phoenix during the summer that there's...
I got a lot of work done the last week. So happy. I'll post pictures soon. Got the keelson, spine, and compression post installed. The new...
If by progress you mean planning, then yes! Since boats only seem to make one poorer (and I started at the baseline), I want to make sure to get...
5monkeys that design is fresh. Going to copy as I re-work the sole. Just keeping everyone appraised of the slow AF progress. Keelson mess is...
By the way, I'm sorry this thread took a left turn from discussing the traveler. I really appreciate all the feedback. It's encouraging because I...
Hey guys. Just thought I mocked up a crude and not to scale diagram of the Coronado 15 sole. Any suggestions for how to remove the keelson? Slow...
Good advice PAR. I've seen your comments about hull damage based on trailers. based on trailer damage. My hope is that delaminating fiberglass...
I’ve been working in the sole of the boat. It is slow going, as like all of us, time is limited. But I noticed today that there is major sag in...
This looks great. I’m in the same process with the mast support, replacing the centerboard gasket, and installing new wood on the hull’s inside...
Thanks Canracer and Upchurchmr. I read through page 16-21 of the forum. After some deep thoughts on my end-game. 1. Replace the bulkhead. 2....
It appears to be rotted. More than likely it too will have to be ground out, replaced, and glassed. What about the raised spine that sits on the...
Just thought I would also share these images as I removed the old mast support. It’s regular pine with a cut channel to straddle the spine. Got a...
It all makes sense with the second block. Truthfully, I’m not partial to a method so long as it’s smooth and doesn’t lag on jibes. But that could...
