Re: Original cabin table dimensions by Cap'n Vic @ Yesterday at 08:38 PM

do you have the table posts? that would be a consideration on how to construct. Basically a box sitting on two posts with two storage areas and two leaves attached with piano hinge. I found that taking off the starboard leaf worked ok.

Re: Cleaning window frame and fitting Polycarbonate by Cap'n Vic @ Yesterday at 08:27 PM

Consider the fact that on some auto racing circuits, the racers prefer to use lexan instead of glass for windshields. While I already have one scratch in one new Polycarbonate [lexan] window, done by impact with jaw of spin pole, all it is is a scrat

Re: Replace Fiberglass floor or repair? by CAN106 @ Yesterday at 02:35 PM

Many thanks to all for the guidance on this. Likely will fix delam with epoxy as opposed to repairing and then resurfacing with anything else.

Re: Cleaning window frame and fitting Polycarbonate by ivanjrod @ Yesterday at 01:08 PM

Great Job! I'll be working on mine soon. What do you think of using Lexan material?

Re: Replace Fiberglass floor or repair? by Rhapsody #348 @ Yesterday at 11:31 AM

The answer is yes - the wood is put on top of the finished fiberglass floor. Below the fiberglass in the area is vermiculite which is probably waterlogged and the reason that you see delamination as it freezes and expands. Here is an interesting

Re: Replace Fiberglass floor or repair? by CAN106 @ Yesterday at 11:23 AM

Still puzzled. If anyone has the original wooden floor, is there still a fiberglass pan underneath it?

Re: Replace Fiberglass floor or repair? by Rhapsody #348 @ Yesterday at 09:35 AM

Corey - The optional teak & holly sole was done with solid wood and looks beautiful. Similar to what Bob experienced on Mmmm, for Rhapsody the teak & holly on the step by the mast became waterlogged and split. I ended up removing it from th

Re: Replace Fiberglass floor or repair? by Bob Rude @ Yesterday at 08:29 AM

You can buy sheets of laminated teak and holly from Jamestown Distributors or other places. It looks almost like a sheet of thin plywood. A friend of mine redid his J37 floor. It isn't cheap but it looks fantastic. I redid the head section of my

Re: Replace Fiberglass floor or repair? by sonskyn @ Yesterday at 06:52 AM

it is my understanding that the teak&holly sole is glued to the fibreglass pan? There are delaminated areas in hull#79 in approximately the same area that I have not felt a need to be concerned about, at some point I am planning to drill small ho

Replace Fiberglass floor or repair? by CAN106 @ 02/02/12 07:11 PM

Looking for some j30.org wisdom here. The fiberglass cabin sole on HiJinx has some delamination at the base of the companionway. Would like to repair and wondering about approach, pull off part of the fiberglass floor and repair; or, pull out the

Re: bulkhead compasses to replace? by Cap'n Vic @ 02/02/12 01:48 PM

not included ... probably an expensive option not available via ebay. we don't use for navigation, just for wind shifts as they are easier to read than GPS and GPS averaging.
