[alberg30] trailers

[Tom]

George,

   Thank you for all your help over the past year.  I am happy to report 
that Dawn Watch, # 172, has been sold to a young man with the energy and 
enthusiasm that only comes with being twenty years old.  You may be 
interested to know that the short-haul inspection of the vessel, 34 yrs. 
old and only hauled three times since 1990, yielded zero blisters... it 
could be that the Chesapeake barnacles protect the bottom !

   Anyway, for your records, the new owner is Phillip Spahr, who will be 
keeping the vessel in Chestertown on the Eastern Shore.  I will be 
canceling my E-group membership here, and wish everyone fair winds and dry 
bilges.

Tom Doyle

Jim,

I believe that leaking chainplates are more likely the cause of a
wet shelf in the vberth.  I would check that, first.

As to recaulking the toerail, well, I don't have much faith in
silicone caulks for the long haul.  And they can cause problems
getting anything else to stick, later.  Take a look at Rule
Elastomeric.
