Major Underwater Repairs Without Haulout? Sailing Yes Let's 14
Fixing the rudder, for real this time. I wanted a boat that could cross oceans and also park on the beach. This time I test the "park on the beach" part. Not just to park but do major structural repairs below the waterline. It's a race against time before the tides come back up!
tips for beach repairs:
firm sandy beach, not mud
hydraulic bottle jack
big wood on the bottom
waves will wash piles away so check them after every tide
choose a weather window where the beach is sheltered
choose a beach with friendly neighbours
respect the locals! noise etc
dropsheets, tents etc
use carbide scraper and peel ply to avoid the need for sanding
