[Alberg30] Deck Repairs

[Paloma L. Hawry]

Can you give me any sense of time to repair (not counting repainting the
entire deck).  For example if we are talking about an area approximately 6'
X 15"  what would you estimate that to take in effort hours (for handy but
slow amateurs) from cutting through fairing back in the removed section?

Paloma,

I've done quite a bit of deckwork on Calypso and, while it's not
difficult, it is a lot of work.  You can find a basic description
of the re-coring process on the web site:
