Looking at those pictures of the busted tabbing I see nothing that couldn't be fixed with 10 days of solid labour, an angle grinder with a bunch of 24 grit disks and a pile of biaxial tape. I looked too. Skip, You should take heart. Your boat is probably as strong right now as 90% of the vessels that ever went deep water. Creaking, disconcerting moving of stuff inside, etc. are other issues but you don't need massive primary bonds to resist that. Do the quick and dirty. Time will show if specific areas need a revisit and do the prioritizing for you. The extra strength of a complete re-do could help if you let the little boat symbol on the chartplotter strays over the green again but I bet than's never going to happen a second time. Even with full stength, a boat that goes ashore like that almost anywhere else in the world is going to be picked clean by the locals long before you can do anything. You probably have lost a big chunk of the eventual sail price but it doesn't sound to me like you're planning to trade up That will be the least of your worries when the time comes. -- Roger Long |
