[Alberg30] Knee hull separation

[Mike Lehman]

Alfredo,

You need to fix this before you go! I may be as simple as some grinding and 
adding addtional glass reinforcement or may be as complex as a replacement 
of the knee itself. Do both of them.

Subject: [Alberg30] Knee hull separation
Date: Thu, 15 May 2003 07:30:44 -0700 (PDT)

Dear List,

This past weekend I was working on Free Spirit’s chainplates,
increasing the bolt size in preparation for a Bermuda trip at the end
of June. When I noticed some separation form the forward starboard knee
and the hull. On the port side it was flush against the hull. On Kasia
# 383 it’s also flush. I had noticed before but didn’t give it much
thought, until Saturday when I was up and close to it. Has anyone
noticed anything like it on his or her boats? Should I be concern? How
would one go about remedying this?
I expect to be pounded by the seas on the way to Bermuda and would like
to arrive with the mast standing tall, flying the Association’s
pendant.

As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Thanks,
Alfredo
