2015 Late Summer

August and September Conditions:

A dry looking Skillet Glacier this year.

A great evening sunset sail.

Morning at the south end of the lake.

The Grand looking imposing with some late summer snow.

The local Tanzer 22.

Great weather for the final weekend of the year.

2015 Mid Summer

Variable August weather...

Atypical low clouds.

A beautiful morning.

A squall that was nice and didn't produce any lightning.

2015 Launch

Finally launched in July after the serious boat work projects.

A dry summer.

2015 restoration work

A late launch in 2015 to complete some deck and cabintop wet/delaminated core repair, and some other restoration work.

Bad port sidedeck.

Foreward cabintop was particularly bad, a very flexible top skin.

Most sidedeck bad core removed to dry balsa.

The bad/wet balsa.

Nearly every piece of deck hardware was removed, and the penetrations were overdrilled through the top skin, filled with thin and then thickened epoxy, and redrilled through the plug.

Often re-used the cut inner skin, and taped the joint with cloth and biax.

One mistake was slightly over-shimming the supports and not checking the deck, resulting in putting a little too much camber back into the sidedeck after curing.
