Product Information

To speed up this process I am going to fill the holes with those little packages of silicate which will hopefully suck out all the moisture from the wood.

A new article every three days on sailing, boats and yachts, interview with people from the industry and sailors and many, many insights. If I want to remove and replace the piece of wood on both sides, what kind of solid wood would bond better to the side of the hull? As a sailing yacht is sailing, different forces are applied to the whole system of standing rigging all the time. After minutes of scrubbing I desperately began to use sanding paper to get the whole stuff at least visually clean. After putting some 3 hours of work into this first step of working on the chain plates of my sailing yacht I concluded work and sat down to think of the next steps to go in this part of the refit program.When exposed to constant moisture – as it is the case when used trying to seal the duct of the chain plates – it will rather soak and swell and quickly loose it´s (nevertheless poor) sealing qualities. Neither the sharp blades of a carpet knife nor scratching, chiseling or sanding off worked satisfactory. And, well, yes, with a sigh … some more items made it onto my to-do list after some 3 hours of work. I spoke to my surveyor about it and he wanted me to drill a few 1” holes to see if the water had penetrated the wood.

A lot more made it onto the list during work, I guess that´s the normal way when digging deeper and deeper into the bowels of an old ship. Like I said in my earlier reply, there is no partial repair, this partial bulkhead requires total replacement, I would not doubt that the one on the other side is probably as bad. I am currently checking different methods which is the best way: Resin without GRP-mesh, resin with GRP-mesh, classic filler. Google West Epoxy or Fibre Glast 2000 resin for details but I am sure there are European equivalents.

Older Darts with sail number 1000 upwards will have a backing plate bonded into the super structure and this will not fall off". The boat has leaked water through some ports, and the through the chain plate area, which holds the standing rigging of the mast. Over the years (55+) surveying, I inspected many dismastings and partials because of partial and full bulkheads shreading apart, the ones that did retain the rig was only because the chain plate bolts caught on the bottom side of the deck.As the UK’s architectural ironmongery expert, we know how to get the job done to the highest specification with the correct tools and equipment for your project. Shrouds deviate those forces into the chain plates which for themselves should be fitted tightly to the hull where the forces will be finally absorbed. As a yachtmaster you should pay close attention to seal your chain plates both on the roof of your cabin as well as in the duct itself and finally down inside in the cabin itself. On port side it´s the chain plate of the lower shroud on starboard side it´s the shroud coming directly over the spreader down which is leaking.
