Cool beans. Does your yard charge by the foot for the compounding
and
waxing job?

I am not sure. I think they will quote or provide an estimate based on
footage, but I think they invoice based on manhours.

We enjoy a very good relationship with Kingman. We've owned slips here for
6 years now and have utilized the services of Kingman for basically all the
major work and/or maintenance on the boats. They aren't cheap, (what
boatyard is?) but they are fair and do a very good job.


Would those be "...isinglass curtains y' can roll right down, / In
case
there's a change in the weather."

I use "Isinglass" as a generic term for the plastic windows in canvas
enclosures. Obviously, there are different types, gauges, etc. Some are
designed to roll up for ventilation, some, such as "StrataGlass" is more
rigid and scratch resistant and the windows are designed to flip up without
rolling.

For this boat, they will use 40 mil, clear vinal plastic and heavy duty
zippers.



When you ran the survey, was there osmotic blistering on the hull
bottom? There were a few years there when that brand had some
problems,
but I think I read the factory changed resins and eliminated or
minimized the problem.

The surveyor (and I) did not find any evidence of blistering. The hull
thumped fine and the moisture meter did not find anything unusual. Doesn't
mean blisters don't exist .... it just means we didn't find them.
