the power of the wind
« on: May 16 2024, 18:58 »
Recently got to the boat after some months of absence  and find cover  semi  shredded  - no surprise there  as it had been made inside out and with tags instead of cringles but what a surprise was that 3 stanchions on the port side were bent  and one base had a bent and severed stud - all 12 mm of it. Someone will understand what the loading must have been to do  that. fortunately no other damage but the consequence was that rain water had a way to  get inside - not enough to do  harm as my bilges are deep
