AMF Sailfish Hull Construction
Folks,
I have an old (I have had it for 30 years, and I got it used) Sailfish (Alcort? AMF?). The hull is leaking. I fiberglassed a crack in the bottom but it still leaks. There is a plug in the back so that you can drain it but that gets old, and the thing weighs a ton because it is never dry. I plan to find the leak, and fix it, but I'd like to dry the inside out as well. Does anyone have any insight into the construction of these hulls? This information would be useful in finding the source of the leak and figuring out the best way to dry the hull. Thanks, Peter -- Peter Cheimets Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory ,__o- Smithsonian Institution _-\_, 60 Garden St. (*)/'(*)- Cambridge, MA 02138 (617)495-7350 (voice) (617)495-7098 (FAX) |
