I finally begin working on the Ninkasi To-Do list. First up is repair the separation in the hull to deck join on the portside stern. I took pictures of the problem and emailed them to Hunter. A technician called and we discussed what they call a “shoebox fit” and how to repair the separation. After fabricating a fixture I was able to pull the joint closed and lay in new fiberglass tabbing on the interior of the hull. The original tabbing was poorly installed and fiberglass and resin never bonded to the join. The weight of the dinghy on the davits caused the original tabbing to pull free.
