I work on the boat daily but it is going slowly so posts will also be slow. I hope to get into substantial hull/keel-stub repairs this winter or early in the spring. Before then I'll finish the hull cleanup then I intend to rebed deck hardware so that she stays nice and dry while I work in the bilge, then I get to do the hull/keel stub repairs. Fortunately I haven't found any additional cracks or damage of note as I have removed bottom paint. Thanks for following along, I intend to post details of the full restoration as it proceeds.

Please post repair details if possible. The fact that it is fixable is good news. Please post repair details if possible.

Getting the bottom paint off has to happen before I can start the hull/keel-stub repairs so I am moving steadily towards those repairs. I've talked to a lot of folks about the repairs and have had an expert inspect the boat inside and out and the consensus is that I can fix the boat so that it is safe again so I think the bravery is on account of the work ahead as much as anything. Have a great trip down the country and a great winter in Melaque.. If you feel like coming down the east coast stop by for a visit. Also, if you would like to blog about your trip I have a new westy travel blog up that you are welcome to use, just let me know and I'll set you up. http://westfaliatravels.com Take Care, Hey Jean,

Hope that you will be able to repair it without risking to impair the security of the boat when you will sail in a gail. One day, I will tell you a story of a sailboat with a crack in the hull who sunk in the Gulf Stream. The Coast Gard rescued the crew after a week of drifting in a dinghy....
