The Repairs Begin. . .

After a week of waiting, with no word from my insurance company, I authorized repairs to begin on Monday, August 24th.


Who says repair has to be costly & extensive? Some Sikoflex & Duct Tape and we're going back in the water.

Just kidding...we are going in briefly to remove the mast.

Today we noticed that when the rudder hit it was torqued to port.

On the Travelift to unstep the mast to relieve pressure on the keel through the compression post.

The mast comes off.

Six of the nine nuts are off & Toby of Extreme Fiberglass Solutions works to free the keel.
Exposing the hull/keel joint.

The keel is off.

The mast is unstepped & the keel is off. Tomorrow, Aug 25th, the dust begins to fly.
