A Labor of Love

December 2002 a short five months after the purchase date, the bobstay tang gave way to corrosion, requiring a quick haul out at South Coast shipyard to have a new one custom made. This was in fact the second emergency haul out the first only a week after taking delivery. The first was to replace a leaking shaft seal, but the process required cutting the 1.25 " SS prop shaft in two places to remove a corroded old shaft brake. Yup a new shaft had to be made, definitely an expensive first week!

A later picture of what was "The new Campbell Sailor Prop" This new prop replaced a traditional 3 blade and reduced prop walk, while increasing engine rpm’s to proper working specs.

Wooding the Bottom

In November 2003 we hauled again for some well needed bottom work. (Her bottom had some ten years of paint buildup). In this picture she has been wooded, all old paint removed. We re caulked a few seams and then sealed the bare wood in penetrating epoxy, primed and applied fresh bottom paint. One of her rudder pintles was also replaced
