Repair Update #2

Good progress since the last time I wrote.  The deck area around the two stanchions is completely repaired.  The core under the support legs of each stanchion was replaced with Penske board (the two holes are the pieces used in the deck).  The board, used as core between the two fiberglass layers, doesn’t absorb water like the balsa core, making the repairs essentially impervious to water intrusion.  The new stanchions  go in next.  Then she’s into the booth for keel and bottom work.  Seems unlikely we’ll make the race next Tuesday (JYC #2), but #3 seems pretty likely at this point.  Keep you posted!
