'Chortle' is our family sailing boat since 2016. She is a Sadler 29, with bilge keels, twin skinned and polyurethane filled hull (apparently unsinkable) and was built in 1984. She has received considerable amounts of work in her refurbishment from dad and we now enjoy taking most of our holidays on her in the waters of the west coast of scotland.
The cockpit sole getting plastic pipe and glass reinforcements and gel coat patch up. The rudder pintle brackets have squashed the foam core of the rudder so over size drill out and epoxy fill for refitting with non collapsable epoxy support.
Will the eberspacher heating air duct fit through here? Fitting a powerful heater pointing directly into the galley i hope will be a good political move.
Scraping and sanding of the old anti foil before trying out the copper coat on the rudder. The copper coat man said its all every speck to be removed, so its more sanding for tom and the epoxy lay protecting against osmosis will have to be re applied. Oh the joys of plastic
Spent most of friday sanding and polishing the cockpit gelcoat repairs. Not the most inspiring activity but i hope it should have stopped many of the deck leaks and should last a long time.
