Though I couldn't find the email chain, I recall Rob Ball was a guest at a recent rendezvous. Is it fair to ask for his contact info, or have someone forward this conversation to him for input?

Like Dave, I'm also considering the amount of "repair" and what a potential buyer would interpret as an issue. With regard to the "in or out of the water" conversation this has spread to, my reference is in the water and the rig tuned. However, I will admit I set the rig pretty tight. Interestingly, I haven't seen issues with the backstay cranked on, but I'll keep a eye on it. Also, there are J hooks at the mast for deck support. I'll be at the boat in a couple weeks and see how it's looking. Right now I'm entertaining a couple options once the boat has settled; Either add or beef up the existing tabbing or see if I can tell where flexing is taking place and add angle iron or other metal backing to support/stiffen the area. Let me know if there are any other ideas... -----Original Message----- From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Rich Knowles Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2014 11:23 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List structural question I went through a 12 hour severe storm in 1999 that racked the boat enough to leave the bottom of the transverse rear bulkhead off the sole by an inch or so and left both cabin doors uncloseable. After a winter on the hard with the mast out, all returned to "normal". Nature of the beast methinks. A compromise between building a rigid hull, reducing weight and keeping costs down.
