Our boat is now safe in sound at our club. Tomorrow I start work on
installing her new stereo head unit and have her sails checked out at
Doyle. It's been a process getting her here, but it's going to be a
great Spring and summer!

Obviously towed by the lowest bidder.

Check that thing for stress damage, it looks like the boat was supported on
too few points of too little contact area.

Remember, towing is a dynamic load not a static load as on the hard.

All the stress cracks in the gel coat will be under the flexiable
bottom paint.
He will not see them until the big blisters appear at the end of next
season, or if ice blisters erupt from the hull soaking in moisture from
the rain..

He should strip the bottom and look for stress cracks around each of
the 4 stanchons.

I agree.... they should of used at least 8 supports with 12X12 pads.

I think Scotty the trucking expert will confirm this..Right Scotty?
