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. |

Fall 2013 CJ Strike
Fall 2013 Southern Idaho Sailing Association race on CJ Strike Reservoir near Mountain Home, Idaho.
 |
| Always a fun mix of trailerable boats with SISA. |
 |
| The winds always seem to be pretty good at CJ Strike. |
2013 low water
A super calm and warm high pressure system the weekend before Halloween. An overnight kayak trip to check out the shallow water areas with the very low lake level this year.
 |
| Impressive to see the entire lake like a sheet of glass. |
 |
| Not ideal sailing conditions! |
