What you see is Monte has cut out the sole right where the steps land. So the wall at the top is that little bulkhead under the companionway and behind the steps. The bump you see at the bottom of the pic is where the keel pocket ends after it disappears into the sole behind the winch stand. As you ...

Oh, wow, sorry to hear that...I'd suggest checking ebay and a few used sails sites to see what similar sized sails are going for. The reality, of course, the actual worth of your sails are whatever somebody is willing to pay, and you are willing to accept. But checking on these sites might help get ...

Bob, on a C26, the vertical area in front of the forward hatch where the cabin drops at the foredeck, it was small honeycomb like filler up there as well. EE has delamination around portlights (between inner and outer skin) and it seems the same filler was in there, but has withered away from leaks....

I plumbed it to the galley sink drain. This puts the bilge pump intake at about the same level as the cabin sole, so it isn't terribly useful for draining the depths of the bilge. I just wanted something that might buy me a few minutes if I had an emergency with the keel cable tube. We had the same...

There is a bulkhead from sole to hull just behind the Keel winch stand. It contains the concrete ballast pour. (Actually on EE and Aislin Girl 1 there was about an inch of space between the sole and the bulkhead, which has a nasty consequence of water getting forward under the ply sole and rotting i...

Re: Bilge access on a '79 26'?

Hello all... This is my second 26' and I "seem to recall" that there was an access plate under the companion way steps to get to the bilge. No real access plate there at the actual foot of the steps, unless one was added later - however by removing the panel under the stern berth you will...

I'm inclined to agree. We had a day of buffeting high winds, and there are scratches on the mast. I probably missed something in rigging, the lower end got loose, and whipped around till it pinched and broke the retaining ring at the upper end and it's all in the water. :oops: Oh well 121.75 to Hutc...

All of the keel mounting bits seem to be on the outside of the c20. I see the pivot bolt and three bolts holding another chunk of cast iron to the molded keel. I'm contemplating trying to remove the whole thing. The C20 keel shoe/bolt is very similar (if not the same as) the C26. Here's an article ...

Sad to read but I completely understand your decision; after the recent knee surgery, and over a decade of aging after I first bounded forward solo on EE's foredeck, I have come to about the same point in sailing.
