I talked to a friend who has covered moorage, and he said the owner is
going to take the roof off too, I don't think its $$ wise to do it.
Theres alot more to it than just peeling the tin off, You can't just
leave the structure up too, All the supports and beams would have to
come down as well as the electrical, then you have to cut and cap the
pilings. Thats not cheap either.
I think for the $$ spent they should band together and fight it, and
maybe get grandfathered in, or just bite the bullet and comply.
BTW Chuck if you see this post i was wondering what paint you used on
the hull of Indulgence. I have a friend with a body shop, and was
thinking of having him paint my old Correct Craft. UD

The name of the paint is ALEXSEAL. It's a 2-part linear poly. With a
careful prep job, I'm sure you would be absolutely thrilled with the
results. I know I am. Everywhere we went on our summer cruise, people
were shocked to learn "Indulgence" wasn't a brand new boat, and even
more shocked to learn she was built in 1982. :-)

Thanks for the info Chuck.
Kate ran into Vic and Donna on the ferry the other day, and got the
scoop on Kenny + Vern.
They're doing well :) UD

Bad news for a lot of the beautiful old wooden boats that have been so
carefully preserved in covered moorage up here in the Pacific NW. The
City of Seattle has ordered covered moorage facilities to remove their
roofs or spend $$$$$$$$$$ installing fire prevention equipment and
sprinkler systems.

City of Seattle only?

For Commando's sake, that's a policy I hope doesn't make it up to
Everett... It's hard enough to keep a 65 year old boat looking good,
even when it's under cover!
