We're looking forward to another great week of sailing, eating, boasting, and comeraderie. If the rain holds off long enough tomorrow, I'll pull the boat and ready her for the trip. Already have a pile of stuff in the garage.

You'll always get some water shooting up the pendant tube. Water surging in the trunk for whatever reason will relieve the pressure where it can.

I'm biased, of course, since I own one myself — but isn't she adorable? :-)

Looks like she's in great shape!

Not the one for sale on Lake Geneva, another one, I think perhaps the same year (or thereabouts). The more I learn about these, the more tempted I am! :-)

This will sound hill billy-ish. Can you access it enough to spray "flex seal"? I lent a can of the stuff to a friend. He used it on his aluminum fishing boat. A 6" seam was leaking and it worked great. It's been about 10 years with no leaking.

An update on my scupper and center board pennant tube leaks. I ended up using Flex Seal paste and spray at both locations. After some heavy sailing the past couple of days the bilge was "dry and dusty". (I read that phrase elsewhere in the forum and that became my goal.) Flex Seal paste is my new favorite product.

An update on the performance of my seal at the cleat. Was out in strong winds the last couple of days and though I still get a little water from the pennant hole, it is nothing like before.

You mean the pivot bolt?  Got a bump from the facebook page.  It is a machine bolt with a wing nut.  The one on my boat is somewhat longer because I used a boomkicker bail and rolling shackle to install my vang.  I still have the old one somewhere, will measure when i next go to the boat.  Maybe someone knows. pic below.

also this will show the wing nut side and the use of spacers to fill the gap between the step and the mast. You can get the nylon spacers at any hardware store'

Thanks, Jon. Reading the posts again I think you're right about the 304 reference. Didn't mean to confuse things!

What's your build date, Jon?
