If you stress test any laminate that includes kevlar that's where it will de-laminate every time. I know of one that delaminated in a female mold just due to a very clumsy rolling over process. The very worst thing about Kevlar: it absorbs water aggressively. So paint damage can lead to the entire structure absorbing water, breaking the bonds at the molecular level, resulting in no structure whatsoever. https://www.proboat.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/cindarellarepairs126low.pdf 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
12 metre 279 #1705 Posted July 9 On 6/22/2020 at 10:39 AM, Maxx Baqustae said: Found this from my files now. This was when it was in Surrey by the Sea (Nanaimo) being used as a liveaboard I think. A whole a lot crap on it but has been a little"unphuqued" now. I didn't believe it when I saw it. Nice treatment for the dodger! You nailed it with those photos. I don't know if the photos in the ad were taken when the current owner bought her or if they are current. But I saw her in Nanaimo in the winter of 2018 and she looked pretty much exactly like the photos you posted. Didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or throw up. If you look look closely, you can see Home Depot 2x4 "bulwarks" nailed, screwed, or glued (I can't remember which) to the deck inside the toe rails IIRC. But to illustrate how little old IOR boats can be bought for - Mad Max sold last year and was advertised at CAD 10k. And she was pretty immaculate and had a new engine/saildrive installed a year before. Would be a handful to sail for anyone with cruising or even beer can racing aspirations. I thought about making an offer for her - for about 5 seconds. Way too much hassle owning a boat like that. But for someone with some hotshot dinghy sailor friends she could have been a great buy. Race her for a year or two with little or no maintenance expenditures. Then part her out or send her to the landfill once things start falling apart. Or find someone like the guy who bought Kelea and turn her into a roomy and inexpensive "blank canvas" liveaboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a Westerbeke 21 HP... okay, what's the model, hour count, and condition? Why no pictures? My automatic guess in these situations is that it's a rustball original to the boat with 5000+ hours and terrible access to filters and dipsticks. I always hope to be proven otherwise!

Boat is currently in Shalimar. Engine is inop. Sounds like the flywheel has come loose and starter engages it but it is the only thing that turns... and bangs around inside. Yanmar 2GM maybe rebuidable. The sails and rigging are decent, the hull is good. I have pulled and cleaned the cushions. Decent Raymarine Chartplotter and Auto Pilot. Depth Finder / Fish Finder work. ICOM VHF. needs new Mic. Needs bottom job and more clean up. Available to first reasonable offer as is, where is. Which is in a full service Marina. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About the only reason I didn't buy it was it had an OB which was heavy and awkward to raise and lower, plus I was tired of the issues of having the OB on the transom, i.e. not good in waves. I never expected to cruise, so I didn't put much weight on issues like headroom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the other hand, the head looks like a johnny-house and the sink has no water. But I believe there is some underlying charm to this boat. Some rugged soul could love it.
