Re: barrier coat?

I put a new rudder on my cal31 this year. I needed a bushing as the fit to the hull was less than perfect. 1/4" was all I needed so no complaints Also: I put on a wet suit and got In the water to install myself. No haul-out required in this case FYI : it floats but naturally the post end wants to go down so it was a balancing act. Wife, 13 year old daughter, 10 year old son were all required installation accessories (on dock and in cockpit) A fun day Chris Cal31 Poulsbo, WA
