Re: [Cal_Boats] Cal 40 in the Transpac

Chris, there is also a great series of videos on YouTube detailing the process of a 1967 (1966?) CAL 40 restoration being done out in California, this CAL 40 is owned by Fred Cook, President of Schaefer Marine (in New Bedford, MA). The boat had been sitting in a California marina slip for many years and the owner ended up giving the boat to Schaefer Marine to be used as the subject of these videos. They actually rolled the boat upside down to work on the bottom and the keel! East Coast sailor, restoring a boat on the West Coast. Fred Cook used to post periodically on our old SailNet Cal-List, relating to his CAL 34.

I'm at work. The Cal list is my "cigarette break." Remember those, from the days when people could smoke in public places? I was once a smoker, and one function of the practice was simply to allow little breaks from whatever you were doing. Now we have computers so there's no excuse for smoking. But I also shouldn't be watching extended videos at work.

I think the first step is bartender's friend, or whatever it's called, with its oxalic acid, to clean carefully. The things I've read say - do that first, thoroughly, before sanding or anything else. It would be nice to have another set of hands. The alternative is hanging a vise-grip on the nut and hoping it doesn't fall off. That's how I did the smaller winches, and the stanchions.
