Also second Nathan’s post. Exactly what I did when correcting chainplate
leaking some 10 years ago. Zero leaks since

Peter – it’s been a while since I pulled the inspection ports on my 37, but I
seem to recall the deck area around chainplates are solid. Look up under the
deck at the ports and you may answer your own question. It shouldn’t be
painted and you’ll be able to see the cored and un-cored portions
Excellent suggestions, thank you! I have a roll of Bed-it tape on the way
(https://shop.sailboatowners.com/prod.php?55717) and a call out among sailing
buddies for a good moisture meter. Forgot about using alcohol for moisture
abatement, I’ll get on that today.
Nathan, how deep do you cut that
Peter:
That the unsealed end of the plywood shows signs of water damage does not mean
you have a core problem past the edge. In addition, I view water sloshing
around as encouraging – it would not be sloshing around if it went somewhere
else (where it couldn’t be seen). After the area is

About as good as they get. Very thorough.
He surveyed our 35-3 about 10 years ago. Recently saw him on Yacht Hunters

I second using Butyl tape - particularly the Bed-it brand. Not sure exactly
what your chain plates look like. I resealed my chainplates on my 34 with
bed-it in 2020 following recoring the deck in that region and haven't had
any leaking since. I suggest making an angled (e.g. 45 deg) cut in the
Peter there are many articles on this is the archives; I agree with Dennis on
the Bed it;
you should take some time to find out exactly what failed; I would look closely
at whatever work was done in the 2011 work; for me personally, I would like to
know what you find because I have a 1985 37
I would not use Barnaby Blatch. He did a survey of my boat after a grounding
and required me to do some unrelated stuff that I thought was unnecessary, time
consuming and costly; for instance an automatic fire suppression system in the
engine compartment. Dave

Definite yes on the Butyl Tape. Recommend Bed-It brand.
Denatured alcohol will accelerate the process of drying wood. Not familiar
with your boat so unsure how you would use it. If you can get the alcohol
into/onto the wet wood, it will mix with the water and the resulting
solution will
I have used Dexter before. Really good. https://www.dexterholaday.com/On Nov 9, 2023, at 7:23 AM, Peter Cowenhoven via CnC-List wrote:I used this gentleman in 2019, James M. Curry - Clinton, CT 06413. He came to Branford Bruce & Johnsons.He might be retired by now though.Peter CowenhovenWaves

All,
My insurance company is wanting a C survey for the first time in 25 years.
The timing is not ideal as the boat is hauled, winterized, and covered, and
the policy renews in weeks.
Can anyone recommend a surveyor in CT? Thought there was someone looking
for a surveyor in Branford
