RE: [Cal_Boats] Cal 2-30 for sale was Storm damage (John B)

John since the boat is in Buffalo it may be more economical to buy my Cal 2-30 for $6,500.00 then to repair the 2-28. My boat is in Poughkeerpsie NY on the Hudson and I can bring her to Buffalo next spring. Then instead of working on a boat you can go sailing. I expect that most of the good parts of the 2-28 will fit the 2-30 as spares.

I don�t have any good pictures at this time but I will try to get some by the middle of the week and I will forward them to you at that time.

In most cases, you can do a better job (due to modern materials and methods) than was originally the case. Before I say much more, though, it would be helpful to have a few photos. If you have some pix, please send them to me off-list in high-resolution format If the boat can be laid over on its beam ends so that you can get to the area that is damaged, repairs should be pretty straightforward� Will help if I can� \Rog Cal 29+ #1 Swiss Navy Cal 2-30 #77 St. Lori's Comet From: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com [mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of John Boyce Sent: Sunday, December 10, 2006 11:23 AM To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Subject: [Cal_Boats] Storm damage A recent storm with wind gusts in excess of 60 mph caused a friends CAL 28-2 to get knocked off of the stands that were supporting it for the winter. The damage to the boat was extensive with a broken mast, bent rudder post and worst of all the keel was ripped out of the bottom of the hull. Mast repairs and rudder replacement are minor issues that can be solved easily, the question is how do you rebuild the hull and reattach the keel and wind up with a boat that is as strong and safe as it was originally. Alternatively is this the point where the boat has been reduced to a collection of spare parts? I look forward to hearing any ideas. John Boyce Cal 2-27
