Delamination Repair - 03/19/08 01:41 PM
Hi guys:
I've started repairing my second set of Hobie 16 hulls with the epoxy injection method and it is working great. I injected the epoxy last night and checked it this morning and the hulls are hard again. The reason for my post is to let you know about some photos I put on the web of the process. When I was preparing to do this I searched the web and couldn't find any photos of the actual process so I've posted some.
Last summer I bought this H-16 and fixed it up a little and sailed it and had a blast. It had ports on the hulls that were in bad shape. I found some old, blue hulls without port holes and I'm in the process of fixing them up for this summer so the yellow hulls are history. I put some photos here:

I'll continue to put photos on the above page as I progress.
Have fun,
