Re: SC19 Rework
Slight correction on the sail history. Dave Posey was the original sailmaker who did all of the development work with Bill Roberts. While other sailmakers were involved over the years, we continued to work with Dave until his retirement in the early 2000's. Regarding colors of the sails, the green ...

Re: SC19 Rework
I was able to find a great deal on a high tech one of a kind Mylar sail. I am hoping to get some kind of a matching jib. This sail was originally made for a NACRA 5.7. It seems to be the right size for the square tops that are used now. I am working on getting the exact square meters to see how clos...

Re: SC19 Rework
Some of you might have noticed a name change in the thread. I thought that since this is already more than a bottom job I will get as much in here as possible. That said one of the other components I am having reworked is the sails. I have taken them to Ullman Sails in Deltaville, Va. That said the ...

Re: SC19 Bottom job

Hopefully everyone remembers the infamous BONDO Boooooger!!!! Well here it is with it s very own ambush make ov...

Re: SC19 Bottom job
So where does the project stand as of today (2/2/12). Well both of the hulls have been sanded with 220 grit and all the heavy stuff has now been taken down. Both dagger board trunks upper and lower have been reshaped and just need tabbing in with new glass. It was nice to see that no work was needed...

Re: SC19 Bottom job
So here are the pictures of the filling I got finished as well. I will try to sand and fair out these tomorrow and post those pictures here as well. Only re-glassing/tabbing the bottoms left after that.

Re: SC19 Bottom job

I have exposed what glass needed to be and seen how bad the previous job was done. Removed most of it like should have been done. The ...

Re: SC19 repaint/rebuild
Ernie... Well since it has been just shy of a month since I removed mine, I'll give you what I used. Go to Wal-Mart and get 4 stripper wheels that go in your drill. I can post you a picture if you need. Also get a finishing sander square or round which ever you like. I found it easier to make square...

Re: SC19 Bottom job
Kevin...Yeah I bet and I am using all yours as a guide. Yours came out looking pretty good. Not going to go into mine as deep as you did though. I still have a huge learning curve to get through when it comes to laying glass out. Stays tuned though and PLEASE feel free to drop any hints or advice he...

Re: SC19 Bottom job
Ok here are the current photos. All of these are of the starboard hull bottom except the first picture. The port hull was done correct and I won’t have much work to do on that one other than fairing out a few trailer bumps and gel coat gouges. Along with the tramp rail delam spot and some reglassing...

Re: SC19 Bottom job
Well after knee surgery it is back to the grind. I have finished the second round of fairing and worked the starboard bottom dagger board trunk down to a smooth tab able surface. Cleaning up the last bottom job looks like it was tabbed with glass mat not cloth. We are using the long board, with 50 g...

Re: SC 19 Trailer
Ernie....
Saw your posts on youtube. Where abouts in Texas are you at ?? I just had a buddy pickup a SC19 up in the Dallas area. He'd like to meet other SC19 drivers that way. Other wise he has to come out here to the East Coast to sail with the RnBCYC.

Re: SC19 Bottom job
After an inspection by the Commodore to verify condition of these hulls a plan of attack is now in place and progress will continue. Both hulls have been now sanded down completely with a Black and Decker finishing sander and 60-80 grit paper from Wal-Mart for $25. The seam is removed and all the no...

Re: $250 and a long drive
So how goes it with this project ??? Was it a long drive worth the $250?
