Saga of CHIP

 20 Jun 20:

We wrapped up the last few items on our 1963 Alcort wooden Sunfish CHIP, a few weeks back reattached the keel strip and bow handle after touchup paint.



Punched a centering hole for the drill bit




Then we put CHIP in a shipping box. 



We padded, strapped, taped, pallete, etc and had a pickup scheduled with FedEx, but the short story is we got some info that shipping CHIP through several handling facilities risked damaging the boat, unless we added more pallets and more packaging. So we retreated and decided to use PODS to ship CHIP, that will happen in July.
