size=1>big headseas are definitely not the cause. This can happen on fairly mild
days too. The hull is painted so I do not think it is easy to say much about the
gelcoat unless cracks are showing through the paint job - and I do not think
that is the case. When the boat comes out of the water, I can look at it. Thanks
for the insight.</FONT><BR><BR>>>> Sunstone@cogeco.ca 09/12/02 04:59PM

flexing</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>? Well my boat doesn't flex at all in a seaway at least that I
can feel #296 , deck is thrubolted, rig tensioned the same (I used brians #'s
too), new mast beam etc. maybe your deck is riveted and is loose. I
haven't noticed any movement I've had it rail down beating into a fairly heavy
sea taking alot of water down the weather side deck over the bow and scooping
up some in my 150% UK tape drive. Only vibration I felt was my heart going
into high misfire and my white knuckles squeezing the pitch out of the teak
tiller..<BR><BR>Dave Terrell wrote:<BR>
