Started the topsides this week.
The good, the bad, and the ugly.
Most of the shear was ground down to the cloth for exploratory inspection.
The existing paint was cracking in a lot of areas. Fortunately it was
mostly only gelcoat cracking. There is one spot that we found wet balsa
core on
Wow! Great pics.
I wish I had our boat done, but I can't imagine how much it is costing. Care to
share some numbers?

Chuck,
It was bid at 250 hours for the deck and 150 hours for the topsides. Labor
in this part of the universe is $70-90 per hour. As Bill C. pointed
out.it's about the same cost as buying the boat!!

Hi Ronald,
My mast step consisted of only two supports with the horizontal block
resting on top (sure looks like it was designed for 3). The supports on the
shoulders of the bilge were rotting and the horizontal block was also
sagging. for the rebuild we glassed in 3 new supports so it will be g
Joe,I was able to use my existing windows and South Shore yachts had the
necessary foam and rubber seal so that was easy. Hard part was cleaning up the
mess from a PO caulking to prevent leaks.RonWild CheriC&C 30STL

In the summer of 2010, we fell off a 4 ft wave while close reaching in 16
knots true, and something went POP. Sounded like a .22 going off; and I said
"F***! Something broke!"
One of the jump stays between the first and second spreaders, which I later
learned is officially called the D2 shroud,

Hi Harry,
Thanks for sharing the cost. Hard to put a realistic value on a work of art,
and it should be gorgeous and a real strong and reliable boat for another
generation to come. FYI, I saved about 15% by paying cash for some work I've
had done. Worth asking about.
I know I don't get a vote
Chuck,
I am getting a bit of a break being an employee of the company, and I have
(I stopped counting) many hours in the job myself, doing the easy
stuff.hardware off and back on, some sanding and masking, etc.
I am convincing myself the colors will work!! And yes, we are keeping the
name MIR
Harry,
Please keep the flag blue/white bottom. Take them shopping on Fifth Avenue if
you have to!OK...maybe not...but you know I am biased.

Yeah, I hate to admit it, but I only use the compass for those moments
when I'm thinking 'okay, which way is north, anyway...'
Heck, I have three GPS units capable of helping me navigate, and always
have a waterproof handheld loaded with any relevant waypoints in the
ditch bag when heading out
Thanks Wally.
Your comment prompted me to pull an old friend off the shelf. A Luna

for practical purposes.

I don't know how the other list defined the "real" sextant being lamented,
but the metal sextant isn't dead. I have a Celestaire Astra IIIB which can
be bought new for about $650 from a number of sources, including West
Marine. The Celestaire website says 27,000 of them have been sold in the US

Dennis is probably right, if you want to stick with rod rigging, just go
straight to reheading and buy extra long toggles to make up the lost length.
Completely new rod will be a lot more expensive than new wire, probably twice
the cost.
The Dyform wire I used was more than standard wire,
