Just stumbled across this forum, really great info and fortunate to find this page! We restore boats down in Miami and have really only dealt in powerboats, but more and more lately we have been getting in sailboats, specifically a large contract to restore a bunch of old Hobies for a youth sailing program, which is awesome, (but I am thrown in cold water a little bit with it

and am having to research to learn all the ins and outs. Needless to say very helpful info and I appreciate it!
Warm Regards, -Paul
