- Ocean Alexander 50 Mk I
I have noticed that there have been a few Ocean Alexander 50 Mk I's extended. But I'm not sure whether many had engines etc relocated aft at the same time. Does anyone have any experience with these extensions? I'm curious about trim and sea-keeping behavior pre- and post-extension. I am contemplating it, but would like to get more comfort around what issues have arisen and how they were managed.
Insequent is currently getting a new foredeck. I'm guessing that the teak seams leaked a little, and with over 900 fasteners (passage into the balsa core....) it was inevitable that the core got soggy and rotten. I think the PO like to keep it sanded for many years, thickness of the teak was quite diminished in some areas.
