Hi, I Started this boat 6 or so years ago. Did a ton of work and had it in the water for 2 seasons after the bottom was done, while I did other work. the last 3 years the boat has been in storage. Outdoor in summer and indoor for the past 2 winters. When I did the work before I had a long thread on here showing what I had done. Its probably still in the archives if you are interested. I removed the keel and scraped the bottom to gel coat; that's when i found the crack from the keel cable letting go previously and not properly repaired. So that was fixed and it was all coated with interprotect 2000 and bronze anti-fouling.
Anyways I have a dock spot waiting but nowhere to put the mast. I am losing my storage in 2 weeks and would really like to get the mast and standing rigging set so i can raise the mast after launch. I have the tech manual on a cd but all my computers don't have a cd drive anymore so until i can find one or borrow one I don't have that valuable resource.
I have cut all new bulkheads and most other wood for the inside. I finally finished the recommended coats of epiphanes varnish alternative for teak. top coated with the Epiphanes high gloss UV resistant varnish.
I ordered these new style chainplates with the deck flange (capri22 1995+) Upper Shroud Chainplate C-22 '95->, Sport
As well as these tangs for adding turnbuckles later. Lower Shroud Reinforcement & Traveler Tang C-22 & C-25.
My first issue is that the boat has been sitting for a while and due to a car accident and Covid I never got a chance to mount everything to the deck. so what I couldn't mount, I covered the holes with either gorilla tape or T-rex tape. It seems to have kept the water out of most places but now the goo is there and I don't know how to deal with it. I was thinking goo-gone but that leaves a residue and soaks into the gel coat. Is there something better or do i just use goo-gone and clean it with acetone or rubbing alcohol after? What is the best sealant to use? 3m 4200?
Next I have concerns about the mast support and mast step. There seems to be some buckling under the mast support. I included a picture. Is this normal or a serious concern? I can get the mast support to move forward but it's difficult and I'm not sure I can get it all the way out. Is it supposed to be that hard to remove? does it come out going forward? There is a shoulder on the bottom that would make it difficult to go the other way.
Lastly (for now lol) its pretty clear there has been water leaking in the shroud supports. I ordered a new set of through deck fittings as they looked a bit pitted. The area doesn't seem to soft when I stand on it and poke at it a bit, is there a better way to check if it is sound? Picture included
Thank you all very much for any help, Advice and information.
