Outstanding Repair

Well Karl, what do you think? Rudders are easy too, just takes some special tools. John, the next issue coming out shows how to use the non-skid mold we covered in the most recent HOTLINE. Perhaps the issue after that one can cover the rudders.

I hit Jake at Saylorville last year. The line had been port favored all day, but for the one race the entire fleet actually decides to start port, its square. I timed it pretty good to screw everyone else, unfortunetly I smashed into Jake at full tilt on the wire.


Rick, I'm a retard when it comes to anything that has a pot life. Even bondo requires I break out the hockey helmet. I'm a living god with all things wood, (pun intended), but some mysteries I just don't need to solve. My thing is that I don't want to know it was ever repaired. Which is what a good repair looks like. Being the sever OCD inflicted soul that I am, it would haunt me in my sleep.


I can learn to do just about anything that's hands on, if its taught to me apprentice style. If I gotta read to learn it, I'm screwed. ARC catamarans are built here in Minnesota. I was thinking that next time I'm out of work I should give them a call and see if they needed any help for a week or two and learn some of this stuff.

I've got a set of daggerboards that are mangled, three holes in my hulls, and all of the various dents one could accumulate learning a spinnaker the hard way and becoming a Jedi-master at righting.

So yeah, rudders are a good place to start screwing up my boat.

Did Jake beat you up?

Only us Canadians resort to fighting.It's are way of releasing stress

No, but he did have that deer in the headlights look for about 10sec after I ran him down like a crowbar totin' redneck high on meth.
