1970 20ft SF Rebuild

[Kithogue]

Thanks Strick.

When morale is low after too many days spent in the tyvek suit you gotta change things up. We decided to clean the "shop" yesterday. All those hours sanding fairing off really tests your psyche. I think this was the first time the tent was cleaned in about 4 years. There were countless wasted brushes/rollers/squeegees/mixing sticks, gloves etc. All sorts of scrap. Also removed the keel supports now just resting on boat stands. Nice to have a freshened up works space.


Anyways...

We need some help with thru hull placement. Originally we were thinking the aft corners. But in an effort to decrease water intrusion through the scuppers we thought it might help if we drilled them next to the rigging tubes. This way when the boat is pitching a lot with some weight in the aft corner the scupper will be a little less likely to be submerged and creat a wet deck.

Can anyone chime in if this is a good or bad idea? The only downside we can think of is if the boat has a list at rest water may not drain out as it should.

Oh yea we added a splash well.
