Qué cubre este vídeo
Archie, owner of a Colvik Sailor 26 named Puffin, is evaluating a major structural refit after discovering widespread water intrusion and misalignment issues.0:16 The deck core around the mast step and cabin top shows signs of saturation, evidenced by mushy plywood and water drainage from deck fittings.1:59 The mast base fittings are loose, and the standing rigging plates require replacement.2:26 Additionally, the interior bulkheads appear misaligned and potentially installed incorrectly by a previous owner, complicating efforts to use them as reference points for structural repairs.5:55
To address these issues, the proposed plan involves unstepping the mast to remove deck weight, replacing the saturated core, and potentially removing and rebuilding the bulkheads from scratch to ensure proper alignment.3:45 The project also requires replacing all deteriorated blocks and running rigging.8:49 The primary challenge remains establishing a level baseline for structural work on a boat that is not currently level.10:13 The owner is weighing the necessity of a full-scale deck and bulkhead restoration against the labor and budget constraints of the DIY project.9:14
