Dave,



One more thing I just remembered . . .

At Jim's suggestion, I used some expanding foam (buy it in a spray can at the hardware store) to put a plug in the mast where the diamonds are attached to the mast. I also drilled a small hole a little above the cunningham hardware and put a foam plug there (closed the hole up with a rivet) - hopefully this will allow us to right the boat from the turtled position. I also tried to seal any rivets/fittings above the lower plug I just described. It probably sounds like I'm paranoid, but I learned the hard way w/ our H-18 just how tough (impossible) it can be to right a cat w/ water in the mast.
