Re: disposable leeboards
Well, if that doesn't work then use waterless handcleaner, and then,
if necessary, vinegar. Works great.

Greetings - I can't help but send this post - As I am just about finished
with what I think is a very nice martha jane - I think I have made a
discovery about building these big leeboards. First of all my theory all the
way thru has been to use the best materials - to try to do it right - high
density filler in areas which get abused - cloth for all exterior surfaces
etc. etc.
When it came to the leeboards I did the same thing - good marine grade
plywood - 32 linear feet of glass cloth two layers of tape on the edges, set
in high density filler - when green low density filler for fairing those
edges - still to come - tons of sand paper and hours of sanding with
additional low density filler -
NEVER AGAIN! ( sorry for shouting)
Now that I consider the amount of time going into these leeboards and the
amount of money spent on epoxy, glass cloth and fillers - I would do it
differently ( I would still put the best into the boat ). But if I had to do
the leeboards again I would use plywood - pour the lead - seal the lead in
epoxy after it cools - fair the edges of the boards and paint 'em. Period.
That part was cheap, easy and quick. If the boards only last a year - so be
it. I would replace them and reuse the lead. Keep them painted - maybe a
coat of epoxy on the edges from time to time. I'll bet on a drysailed boat
they'd last a couple of years at least. That's my discovery - disposable
leeboards. They'd be lighter too.
Maybe I'm just feeling cranky because my epoxy covered fingers are sticking
tttttooo thtthhee keyboard.
