Doug:
Very cool photos. One shot was printed in the last issue of SCA. Did you
make it all the way to the Dry Tortugas?

If the trailer sailor doesn't let you post pictures
any more I thought I would try this site.
I think I have to wait a day to get these in the
gallery at the imagestation site.
I thought I would try this anyway.
Sorry if it inconvieniences anyone.

I repaired the centerboard problem on my M15, and have now had two great
sails. Thanks for the advice from this group. Now how about repairing
holes in the deck - I have epoxy and several fillers. Should I use some
sort of backing underneath the holes, and fill with thickened epoxy? Will
the thickened epoxy not sag without any backing? Thanks, Jon

Just want to thank you for the streamer which flies atop "Really's" mast.
One of the few times I neglected to attach it was the day of the knockdown.
Just return from a couple days sailing with streamer flying proud, without
incident.

Craig,
They are approximately 4 1/2" long overall. The mounting holes are about 3
3/4" apart. I'd recommend the Skene type chocks (the kind with overlapping
"fingers") over the straight type because the line stays in place better.
Quite a while ago I had bought a pair of larger ones on e-bay but after
studying the situation I concluded they were a bit too large. Probably
better suited to a 23.

Jon,
I put a little square of masking tape over the underside of the hole before
filling with epoxy. Someone suggested working the epoxy into the hole with
a Q-tip (Bob?) to ensure good contact. Worked very well for me.

Well, I returned home late last night from my Newfoundland/Montreal trip.
Actually bailed out a day early in Trois Rivieres since we got a late start
after changing transmissions. I must say, I sure like the way the
Montgomery handles a lot better than the Cape Dory 33. And the cockpit in
the Montgomery is a WHOLE lot more comfortable than the cockpit on the CD
33. And give me a tiller over a wheel any day of the week.
Here's to a well-designed, well-built SMALL boat.
Here's to a Montgomery!

I have not done this, but ShipShape TV used a two part foam to fill a void
in a fiberglass hard top. Obviously you have to make sure the foam does
not squeeze the deck apart. The drawback to this method is a two quart
supply costs $80 at West Marine, which makes two cubic feet of foam.
(Everclear brand). I found a reference to a $25 product at
jamestowndistributors.com but they only list a $75 two gallon product -
"Dura-Cote".
Has anyone used a foam?

Hi Steve,
I don't know the size of your deck holes, but if they are just bolt or
screw holes that is a pretty simple operation.
If you have larger areas where the balsa is rotten (soft), then it's
another type of problem.
For small bolt and screw holes, I just went into the hole with a nail
bent in an "L" shape to get back to solid balsa.
Then I put some masking tape over the bottom of the hole to keep the
epoxy from dripping out.
Next I mixed up some epoxy, and tried as best I could to coat the inside
of the cavity with epoxy. Then I added filler to the remaining epoxy and
using a small plastic syringe injected the thickened epoxy into the
cavity till it was full (and a bit above the deck).
When it had hardened, I carefully shaved off the excess sticking above
the hole.
~~~~~~~~~~
If you have larger voids or spongy areas, one approach is to first define
the area.
Then you have to drill a series of holes to allow you to remove the
spongy balsa and get back to solid balsa all around the soft area.
Next it has to dry out thoroughly before you fill it again with thickened
epoxy.
I have used foam to build a better icebox in my big boat, but you have to
have sufficient area for it to grow and expand or else it will force your
deck apart as it grows in volume.
If you haven't seen the WEST Instruction Book, I recommend reading it.
WEST covers all sorts of repairs, and is a great "How to" book if you
haven't done this sort of work before.

Is this anything like the DAP insulating foam you can find in cans at any
hardware store?
