[Rhodes22-list] CB trunk repairs / update

[Lou Rosenberg]

  Rummy,

  Stan actually answered this a few months ago for me.
  Apparently this boat was not constructed that well, and they just 
did not seal the trunk to the rest of the boat carefully.  Cracks 
could have been also made from freeze/ thaw cycles when rain water or 
just bilge water corroded the already weak seals around the trunk.
  I will be cleaning up all this cracked laminate around the flange 
and sealing with load of
  thickened epoxy.
