Repairs Start on Crash Damaged Catamaran
Repairs Starts on Crash Damaged Catamaran
Our crash damaged catamaran has been hauled out of the water. Now we can get a much better look at what we are dealing with.
The starboard bow took the main impact. And despite us sealing the damage with epoxy putty to keep the worst of the water out, seawater has slowly seeped into the bow and the crash box. There's water ingress and damage to the stern of the port keel, damage to the inner and outer port hull, and another small area in the port bow. But before any of those areas can be properly repaired, there's one thing we need to do first: get them dry.
Except we've arrived in Trinidad during the rainy season.
