Santaa Cruz Marina inlet

Helen, I was up in Santa Cruz on Saturday so I had lunch at Aldo’s. While I was there, I walked out to scope out the inlet to the SC Marina because I think I want to sail up there and do an overnight. Oh my! Even surfers were having a tough time navigating the ‘channel’. How do you get in and out of there? And if any of you Santa Cruz owners want to come down to Monterey and go out, let me know. ..tom From: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com [mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com] Sent: Monday, January 11, 2016 11:29 AM To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Cal_Boats] Sealant? Adhesive? Re-bed? Tom, Helen here, sorry about reprimand😐, but you have done better than some starters who had to call rescue when not quite ready to manage singlehanded. Love the enthusiasm you show, especially taking advantage of your vacation regardless. The sealants are all with challenges. In all cases you will need a hand from below..With butyl you must hold screw on top in one spot while nut is turned below. If you take the track off and clean hole, you can check for rotting of deck (hopefully none) and epoxy into laminate before resealing. It is sometimes advisable to make slight countersink for new bedding. There are articles to walk you through process of hardware rebedding. And, the list will advise you, Cals sail better "on their feet" by design, no need to bury the rail. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android <https://overview.mail.yahoo.com/mobile/?.src=Android> Thank you. The problem I am trying to solve is this: Aft-starboard ‘berth’ leaks. It’s coming from the top because the carpet on the side is wet from the top. I WILL resolve it! Water stays OUTSIDE. : ) It’s either coming from that jib sheet track or the rubrail…or someplace even scarier. So far, I have only noticed it when it rains. I don’t go out in bow-breaking weather and I’m not good or brave enough to heel that far over! Last time I went out in ‘Small Craft’, I was reprimanded…even though I had a blast! : ) So I thought I would start by re-sealing the 19 bolts that hold that track down. Easier than re-doing the rub rail.

Tom, We always use butyl tape for any deck sealing (t-tracks as well) and as long as you have large fender washers behind the nuts, and a clean surface to start it should seal well. We just put a small 'o-ring' of material around each hole and another one on the countersunk screw head, re-tighten after a week and you should be great.
