I doubt that the bolts loosened, most likely the goop squeezed out and now not
compressed...

& Jake,
Thanks for the
advice. My God there must be 100 bolts per side.
Fun job that will be...

This was my experience on
Calypso’s hull-to-deck joint also. About 10% of the
bolts needed a few more flats worth of rotation maybe up to
¾ turn.
I did not need to hold the screw
heads as the decades of salt water exposure have effectively
frozen them tight. I was not able to tighten all the bolts
as some
are buried in the fiberglass tabbing around bulkheads. I
am assuming those have not loosened.

David,
Glad you made it through without
too much damage. The hull-to-deck joint needs to be snug,
but not super tight either. You don’t want to squeeze
all of the
butyl out of the seam. I use a small ½” wrench and try
to keep all of the bolts at about the same torque. It
helps to have someone on deck to hold the screw head
stationary. I’ve usually only had to move the nut one or
two flats to keep them torqued. I
don’t do it often either.

Rich,
Not much went wrong. Freshwater pump fried, baby stay car
bolts sheared, broken head lid, wind unit at mast head
deciding to go sideways (huh?), and not much else.
But...the boat was wet. I thought I had buttoned her up
for the 2011 race, but the Gulf Stream really worked
her. We were in the SE meander for 15+ hours and it was
rough with high winds (30-50) and cross seas. The hull
to deck joint, submerged often
by heeling and solid water over the decks, deposited water
in lockers (the most, of course, in my sons locker where he
stowed his laptop...ugh).
I would like some feedback from the group as to how much I
should tighten each bolt...1/2 turn? Full turn?
