Hi all, I thought I'd post a separate thread on this topic, as it is a stand-alone issue vs everything else we're working on.
Though many of our stanchions were bent from the storm/flood (which is a pretty good testament to the shape our deck is in), we did take a hit that broke the stern-most port-side stanchion clear through the topside, cracking fully into the cabin on the port side just above the galley. I've been researching the repair of this (and did come across your excellent blog-post Bill --

Has anyone else encountered this? I would post a picture, but I am pretty tech-inept and can't figure out how to do so.. If anyone has thoughts or has dealt with this before I can likely email a pic..
Any help is greatly appreciated !
