Re: Coronado 15 project.
Moving along with the foil projects (rudder and centerboard.) Welcome to my "shop." That bar is my work bench. http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m512/TampaBay2/foil16_zps5d909c38.jpg I opened a 36" sanding belt, and paired it with a 1" square steel tube. It's been great for fa...

Re: Coronado 15 project.
It was a cool idea that I couldn't resist trying. I knew the odds of water intrusion were fairly high. With a little perfecting, It becomes an interesting alternative to vacuum. The epoxy is cured, but it doesn't look ideal. That's fresh 40 grit paper in the sander; you know what time it is (time t...

Re: Coronado 15 project.
I had this idea: Busy working on my foils here; building up the thickness into a better NACA shape. The fiber-glassing has been easy enough, but I wanted a vacuum bag system. Then it struck me, I can submerge the uncured work in the pool, and the water pressure will create the same effect as a vacu...

Re: Coronado 15 project.
Today, I put a little magic back into the TeeNee Magic Tilt. The rusty nut was ground off and the original bolt was pounded out. I put a jack under the boat to separate the joint, and covered everything with oil. It was reassembled with the new hardware (shown.) http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/...

Have a good sail lately?
Just wondering if anyone has had a good sail recently?
It's starting to cool off here in south west Florida (by about 3 degrees.) I might get the boat wet sometime soon.

Re: Coronado 15 project.
The rivets were easy to drill out. One rivet needed a small amount of filing before it released. The new sheaves were not a perfect fit, and so they were sanded on a flat surface until the width was right (also the height was reduced about one mm.) I replaced the rivets with stainless bolts of the s...
