[Public-list] Deck/hull joint - Toe Rail - ETC

[Bobby]

Yes, the fiberglass is higher where the genoa track is located.   
   
  I'm almost done removing the all the bolts for the deck/hull joint and stanchions.  I was happy to confirm that the stanchion bolts are not in the core.  
   
  I noticed that at the bulkheads, the deck is glassed to the bulkheads.  Will this present a problem in prying apart the joint or will the deck move a bit to get access?  Is there a good way to pry it apart?  Also, does anyone have recommendation on how to remove the sealant between the joint?  
   
  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  I think you must have one of the transition hulls, that has some of the 
characteristics of the old ones and some of the characteristics of the 
new ones, plus some features not found in either of the others. On your 
side rails, does the fiberglass come up higher under the genoa track, 
eliminating the wood there?
