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?
