I haven't the foggiest of the make of my trailer (vintage 1975) but it has an extension that works just fine. Bill K Half Monty M-17 (#55)

Hey Tod, Nice find, thanks for sharing it with the rest of us. Now all I need is some waterproof paper for my printer.

Clarence, Sorry to hear you sold her, we will miss you and Norma at the Chesapeake cruises. Did you sell her locally? Hopefully the new owner will be on the list and maybe they can join us on a future cruise. Take care, best to yourself and Norma and keep in touch Gary Valetti

Molding 101
by Rick Langer 06 Nov '05

Hot glue might be suitable and fast. Depending on the type of glue release when making the mold could be a problem so maybe a release film of oil, vasoline or vegetable spray might work. I'll try experimenting, problem is my boat is all buttoned up for winter. A thought I had from Steve's "sculpy" suggestion was to soften wax, like a candle with a heat gun. This type of mold would probably release from the hardened epoxy without any additional release film. Rick Langer M15 #337 "Bluebird" p.s. Doug, Tod, I can unbutton my boat pretty fast if anyone wants to head to the Bahamas this winter, or maybe the Keys.

Hi Jim, If you could run a bolt through the ends of the tape and then connect that to a slide hammer. Maybe the soft jolting would help. Just thinking... Bill

Bob: Thanks. I had not thought of that. The halyard is about a 3/8th dia yacht line and fits very snuggly in its hole. I can't get the keel to move at all. I tried jacking the boat up off the trailer but too risky without proper equipment. Trailer is the original and keel rests on the rollers. I agree that it may have been recovered at one time and hit the first roller and punched the keel up into the recess. That's one guess. Do you know how much the keel weighs? I was told 50 and 200 lbs. If it is light, I might take the halyard out completely and then I will secure it to the keel (if I get it down). You mention the trailer, I was wondering if I should reconfigure to put rollers on either side of the keel so it essentially is not resting on anything. Have lots of cosmetic work to do on her but, so far, everything is minor. Where do you sail? Tom
