Corsair is out of the water and safely on her cradle.
I met with the Torresen Service Representative and the Insurance
Adjuster yesterday. Autoowners has stated they will authorize repair up
to the agreed to value of the boat ($24,000). Torresens is starting the
estimating process. They are leaning the new mast approach. The break
is pretty rough, so a repair might need to shorten the mast at least a
little.
Right now, the list of known items is:
Mast
Head Stay (we had to cut it to get the rig stabilized)
Bulkhead Repair
Wind instrument head
Navigation/Anchor/Strobe Light
Main Sail Track (mine was external T track)
Repair Jib (we had to cut the #6 luff tape off to get Jib off)
Repair Main (we had to cut slides off to get main stowed)
Roller Furler (my Harken MK III foils may not be available. The furler
is OK).
Separate from the insurance claim, I will have them reinforce the port
upper chain plate and the mast collar didn't separate from the Spartite
when they pulled the mast. It appears that there is some wet core
around the partners. I have them dig out the wet stuff and fill it with
epoxy.
I'll keep the list informed as to resolution.
