Flying Pig Damage Photos
My spies in Marathon provided me with some photos of the damage to Flying
Pig. You can find them at http://www.geoffschultz.org/Flying_Pig/index.html It doesn't look too bad from the outside, but who knows what structural damage lurks inside. Skip did a nice job with the boat. What a shame. -- Geoff P.S. You might want to peruse some of the rest of the site as there tons of information on the majority of the Caribbean. |

Flying Pig Damage Photos
Hi Geoff,
I spent a little time perusing your website. I especially liked your photos. It looks the Flying Pig should be easily repairable. Even if there is interior bulkhead damage, it shouldn't be that hard to fix. It's just fiberglass. In the meantime, if funds are a problem, Skip and Lydia may have to rent an apartment and work for a few months to replenish the kitty, but that is a minor speed bump in life. Here's wishing them the best for a continuation of their cruising dream. Don W. Geoff Schultz wrote: My spies in Marathon provided me with some photos of the damage to Flying Pig.

Flying Pig Damage Photos
Definitely looks better than I feared. I went down to Sarasota for a
weekend to help Skip pull some old equipment out of the engine room and do some work in the bilge and know she is built solid. That abraded area on the hull looks to be right at the sole in the salon area and the floors are strong so hopefully there was not to much flexing. There is a U shaped dining area on that side that may have to come out if there is any major structural problem. At least all the electrical is on the other side. Removing the rudder shouldn't be to hard. The stock comes up under the aft berth so once you take off the mattress and cover there is plenty of room to get to the quadrant. -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.
