1965 Alcort Sunfish WAVE 24 Nov 20 Restoration Begins

24 Nov 20: 

We had reattached the starboard bow block in the Spring...sigh....now the port bow warrants attention. Mast tube is in good shape though.


Flex tape maybe?


Starboard block stayed attached! Well, most of it.


Skipper decreed today that we'll retain the side piece, along with the stealth Hawaii registration numbers.






The fiberglass loop was used at the factory to pop the hull out of the mold.


Woven roving is a little unwoven...


We think we can salvage the deck in this area, put a backer strip underneath to reshape it.


Hoisted WAVE off of the finishing dolly and removed a strongback that we had attached for use in our catboat build. Catboat build is delayed.


Bow section will be reattached! The pink duct tape may or may not be permanent.



1982 AMF Sunfish hanging out with WAVE in the Carriage House. She took similar abuse from the 6x6 posts in the Sunfish Shack. Catboat parts stacked to the side.


Pier planked, 137' of 250' complete.
