[Rhodes22-list] hull leak/ repair

Sun Aug 10 09:28:30 EDT 2008

Tom,

Nice repair work.  Looks more like a lift or support point problem has been 
fixed than a water intrusion issue.  Do you store the boat on a trailer or 
on jacks?  The trailer exerts no pressure at the point of the repair 
although many yards will place a jack near that area during winter storage 
and may create damage if not done correctly.  If you are worried about 
winter water problems, a tarp will solve that problem, keeping all sorts of 
rain or snow out of the boat.

Winds are coming up.  You still  have the best part of our sailing season 
ahead.
