I used Slick Seam for years. Stays soft, squeezes out when the wood swells and can be painted over. The instructions say to launch immediately after application. I never did and had no problems.

What's your budget? Maine has quite few skilled caulkers (not a soon to be lost skill here) who might be coaxed down to sunny FL this time of year for fair pay, travel expenses and lodging. Used a couple of different guys in the past on our old 40' wood boat. Google "seam splining" as a...

One's better half standing a night watch might think that the sink should be at a lower height. Just saying.

And I am supposed to introduce my wife to you?

Where's the boat located Parks? Should you decide to go look at her and she is at Ellis in SW Harbor, you have a free bed and beers at our house. It's only an hour or less from us. Although, we will be in FL part of Dec and all of Jan and Feb.

Mea Culpa. Mea Culpa. Sincere apologies.

Was he from Nantucket?

Rtic will probably soon come up with a less expensive version as they did with the coolers.

Yes indeed. And they are coming back (although not to America's Cup racing): A pocket guide to the J Class yachts – the world's most elegant racing fleet Had the pleasure of seeing Endeavour up close in Maine a couple of years in a row when her rescuer/restorer, Elizabeth Meyer, brought...

Hmm. Could make the series interesting again. I never warmed to the multihull boats. Return of tacking duels! https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/11/21/565604657/americas-cup-race-gets-a-radical-new-single-hulled-boat https://youtu.be/rx2qG_YMrDs

Lift method. Took a week long course on half model building at the WoodenBoat School a year ago. Lot of fun. If I can find proper line drawings for something like our IG32 I may try the buttock method as it's more suitable for power boat models.

I'd like to find a real line drawing of an IG. Or of other "trawlers". This is a true "line drawing". Hard to find for most of our boats. http://www.america-scoop.com/images/stories/1937/EndeavourIILinesDBig.jpg My skill, such as it is, can make half models from proper line drawings. Not...

Me too. Whazzit?

As to question 1, if they are SS rudders, or perhaps even if they are not but any metal, I would consider using a product such as this first, followed by your usual anti fouling paint: Pettit Underwater Priming Kit. I used it on our SS prop cage with good results. First year we had the cages I...

Do you mean the golfer Jack Nicklaus?

At least it's heading "their" way instead of "our" way for a change. Not that I'm wishing it on anyone.

A friend of mine's brother's boat: Vessel | Avimar

The IG 32 Europa satisfies our desire for covered open aft deck space, plus open deck space on the fly bridge partially covered by bimini. With deck chairs and YETI with seat cushion we can seat 5 comfortably in cockpit. On bridge up to 7-8 (at anchor/mooring).

And:

We got one of those for our flybridge. Very comfy and holding up well.

Fall, unfortunately, means it's about time to haul the boat and winterize her for a six month sleep. On the other hand, it's a glorious season full of color and change. And, at the end of fall, we head for Florida for warmth and sunshine, if there is a Florida left after this hurricane season.
