Well, after several months of work, I am finally happy to say, I only have two very small topside leaks, one in the port side galley window area and one in the starboard bow in the V birth area. Dime size drips in hard rain.
Replaced a heat exchanger, batteries, fixed some problems with bilge pumps, alternator, amp gauge, and some other more trivial items. Ergo, I bought an older used boat. But the bones are in great shape and she sails like a dream. Compared to my Catalina 30 or Catalina 36, I feel like I am in a boat that if a storm slipped up on me at sea, I would survive,,, or the boat would. Still need to put some new Teflon wicking in the stuffing box, dripping a little too much too fast,,then I think I am through for the summer. Maybe pull and paint the bottom in the fall.
So, duplicate question -from another area on this site - anyone know where I can source some slip in davits that fit the stern rail slots? <vroyster@comcast.com>
