[Public-List] maintenance weekend - why no mast been repair?

Mon Jun 23 11:57:30 PDT 2008

Viceroy's repair was done before the standard repair with 2 sistering
plates was developed. She has only one on the aft side, but it's a big
one. Mike and I looked carefully at Ray's mast beam. It looked to us
that there was no deflection, no separation of the sistering plate from
the old beam. The big knees that had been added don't appear to have
moved or been stressed.
The only degradation was some separation of the fiberglass tabbing
filleting from the beam to the deck. This tabbing is not structurally
important, and can either be replaced or filled in with caulking.

Someone tell why Viceroy's mast beam does not need repairing? Were the
chainplates shifting?

Ray - you selling the beautiful mast beam plates?! You should put them
up anyway, they would look better than the old one that is up there.

Mike and Trish Lehman were the gracious hosts for a marvelous and
well-attended maintenance weekend last weekend. In attendance were Ray
and Sandy Meijer with Viceroy, Andy Shaw, Bob Leigh with Jared (and
Kristen)'s Morgan 34, Sue Barrett and Fayne Farrar with Tern II, Mike
and Max Meinhold, Brian Walter with Luna Blu, Mike and Trish with
Gilleleje, A Cal 25 owner named Chris (?) who wanted to see what this
Alberg thing is all about, John Maliszewski, and me. I don't think I
left anybody out. But if I did I profusely apologize...

We got started bright and early by concluding that Ray and Sandy didn't
actually need to have their mast beam repaired and instead we should
repair the chainplate bolts on Viceroy. This took about 20 minutes and
put us WAY ahead of schedule (for a change...) Then we moved onto
repairing the chainplates on Tern II. Andy and I went to work doing some
grinding inside Roulette, and quickly concluded that instead of grinding
we should be removing some fiberglass that wasn't totally cured or
bonded to the hull. So once we ripped that out, we solvent-washed the
inside and had to vacate because the acetone smell was just too strong.
That was the end of work on Roulette for the day... We had a great lunch
of wraps prepared by Sandy Meijer and a couple of beers and then got
back after it in the afternoon.
Ray had a number of small projects to undertake on his boat including
replacement of the spacer on the gooseneck track. Sandy, Max, and Trish
made quick work of scraping the brightwork on Gilleleje, and Bob Leigh
spent about an hour in the Bosun's chair inspecting rigs and retaping
spreader boots. Chris and John M were a well-oiled machine replacing the
chainplate bolts on Tern II and once that project was done it was
declared (by Mike) to be 'Mojito Time' and so we all headed up to enjoy
some refreshing rum drinks along with some smashing hors d'oeuvres, hot
dogs, and hamburgers on the porch overlooking beautiful Mill Creek. We
had a great time swapping stories and talking about everything from
boats to politics and most things in between too.

Thanks to Mike and Trish for hosting a wonderful weekend.

For those of you heading out on the summer cruise, I wish I could be
there, and I hope you have excellent weather and nothing but good times.

Ciao!
