Re: [Cal_Boats] Hull-To-Deck Joint (Mike)

Mike, Thanks for the link. The photos give me some idea as to what to expect. As you may know, the Cal 2-27 hull to deck joint is located along the side of the hull just below the molded toe rail. Attached are some older photos taken during some resealing. (That's the Admiral over on port inspecting my handiwork.) I suspect that I'll need to reglass the joint in similar fashion to your project. Do you have any suggestions for replacing the teak? I suspect if I go that route, I'll end up needing to get it custom fabricated. I am also considering using a PVC based rubrail, but so far I have not been able to find a source except for rubber based sections. BTW, Conquest is a beautiful boat!

I didn't know what type of boat you were asking about. That teak rail looks really nice. Why not go from the inside and glass and seal it there ? I had no choice. My Cal 34 had that bolted joint and it never leaked but the PVC was a pain. I would sure try to get at it from the inside and seal it off. Maybe the fasteners that hold the teak in place are the source of the leak.
