Chesapeake 32
Anyone know these boats, Rhodes design built in Denmark in 1961? I am considering one. I like the lines and I don't mind the narrow beam.

Aluminum mast repair
I removed my radar and the bracket and now have four 3/8" holes on each side of the mast about a inch apart (in a vertical line) and a single 1 inch hole at the front of the mast, slightly above the top 3/8" hole. I'm a bit worried about local strength. It's a pretty sturdy section - Albin...

Patching transducer hole
