darcy1945 Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 The sail is an original Windrush Surfcat, at least 40yrs old, possibly older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzydamo Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Splitting the hull and deck apart is a major job, it means sanding the inside with 24grt disc's and giving it a lest repairs to the flanges to rejoin back together- or a proper make over means giving it a layer of fabric whetted out with epoxy, which sets it up for patches/repairs on the outside and re-gel coating. Could change colour to something more sexy..... Spar sections are expensive, rigging is expensive, fibreglass/gelcoat equipment is expensive- lets say you will spend $2k to do a reasonable job reusing most of it. But you got to be a nutter for projects and have good skills with tools. You couldn't imagine how much itchy dust will come off it- you need a good sized yard and neighbors that are sh!t scared of you.... 😝 Knowing how to spray gelcoat is a dark art, that most keep hush hush; especially the tools that make it easier. 🤐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzydamo Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Lots of hours, lots of itchy dust and you need to know how to do it properly or it will turn to sh!t quickly and a run to the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
