Last autumn, the seasonal gales brought a Bluewater Saugeen 16-6 to the beach in front of my house on Saanich Inlet, just north of Victoria B.C. I put it up on all the social media, and contacted the local clubs, but no-one has claimed it, and I can understand why, even if they did lose it and saw the ads. It's in pretty sad shape - lots of places where the gel coat has cracked and lifted. Ordinarily I wouldn't even try a repair, but I bought 4 litres of West System resin and a can of 207 clear hardener to do my deck railing and used very little, so I have enough to patch the bad spots and then coat the whole exterior.
I'm planning on sanding the bad spots back to solid gel coat (being careful not to harm the Kevlar), and using glass cloth to patch them, and then coating the hull with West epoxy. (I have the cloth on hand.) Comments, please?
