Re: Cal 2-29 Transverse Beam Replacement Part

I may be the one you're thinking of. We repaired the beam on "Pentaquod", our 1969 Cal 29, and the pictures were up on one of the prior versions of the Cal List site. I'm on the road, but when I get back I'll try to remember to post some of them to the Yahoo! Group site. We had to replace both bulkheads at the same time, which made it make sense to cut out the head floor pan to gain access to the beam. I believe that David "Wilkie" Owens got at his from the saloon side of the main bulkhead. I also have the drawings for the replacement beam that the late Roger Jones made up. We made one change to ours; we had the top flange bent from the same piece as the web, since the seam is just a straight line, and this eliminated a lot of welding. Just the bottom flange and the tabs had to be welded. I'll try to remember to post pictures and the drawing. If they don't appear in a week, somebody ping me. ap… [at] verizon.net Alfred Poor 1973 Tartan 34C #288 "Jambalaya" Cant help you with the first item. But with the second, from what I have read on line, sorry cant find the URL, its a lot easier to tackle this job from the head side as you can slice the pan down the center once the vanity is removed. Just a thought. Will see if I can dig up the URL.... Sorry cant find it anymore. The guy sold his 29 to buy an Ingred and then sold her to buy who knows what. Thats where I found the pics....:) On a different note....here's a Canadian on a CAL2-29 crossing the pacific again as Darcy did many years ago. Interesting what these boats can do. <http://www.tyc.ca/offshore.htm> http://www.tyc.ca/offshore.htm Enjoy. /ch On Wed, Feb 8, 2012 at 9:08 PM, < <mailto:tom.emrey%40yahoo.com> to… [at] yahoo.com> wrote: > What should I expect to pay to have a new beam fabricated and any leads in SoCal on shops who can do this kind of work?
