Episode #160 : Sailing Dreams : OFF WITH THE STEP
Hello Friends,
We continue our mini-series this week that finds us up in Seattle helping our friend & Patron Tim get his 1981 Panda 40 “SV DECATUR” into sailing condition.
On this weeks episode I start cutting the mast step out as soon as the mast has been pulled and we get back to our temporary slip in Shilshole Bay Marina.
After removing the mast shoe and seeing lags and the impression I came to the conclusion that the water intrusion likely happened through the lag bolt holes as water collected in the mast and had no where to go do to the clogged step drain. On the new mast step we will be over drilling the lag holes and filling it with an epoxy sleeve to prevent this from happening again in the future.
