Hull Crack Magic Goop


Recommended Posts

SO, while rambling through the internet I found these two videos.

 

A couple, sailing an older boat (on the backs of their patrons but no need to hold that against them)

Develop a crack during an open water passage. 

It's a pretty good example of staying calm. Also, Who carries a few kg of this kinda repair stuff?

 

Start at 24:10 in the first vid.

I do. Altex sell an underwater epoxy in tins.

And I split a half sheet of bendy ply into panels that fit some storage spots, backed it with 6mm closed cell foam , have makita and jar full of 8x 1 1/4 screws.

 

Like putting on covers and a raincoat prevents rain, I'm hoping I'll never need it.
