Yeah man. I'm pretty ashamed of myself. It's been too long and I miss sailing and racing with you guys. I was really starting to sail well back then too. There has been a lot going on in between, (I married the girl that came with me to the 2010 Duck Cup, moved about every year, and was pretty strapped financially) but the real reason is that I was intimidated by the repair. I'm hoping to be back on the water soon. I definitely want to do Duck Cup this year as well as several other regattas.

Thanks for the advise, Jake. I'll keep posting pics of each step and feel free to keep the advise coming to help me make this a quality/lasting repair.
