Last works before launching.

I checked and fixed where necessary hull to deck join, placed new toe rails, and Sasha got new one component urethane paint :)

  1. Hullo,
    Can you please explain what was wrong with your deck hull joint and how did you fix it. My contessa 26's deck hull joint is leaking everywhere.
    Thanks

    1. Hi,

      I did the following:

      1. Removed the wooden toe rails.
      2. Inspected the joint between hull and deck.
      3. I cleaned it where the join was cracked or deteriorated.
      4. I refilled the joint with epoxy mixed with silica particles.
      5. Made new wooden rails and fixed them with a sealant on the top of the joint.

      I hope it will help you. It is a lot of work indeed.
