Hi Les,

Would you mind telling me what they charged for the wax and polish job?

Thanks,

  Hi, Everyone,

      I recently needed some keel work and the rudder repacked.  I solicited
quotes from two shipyards, and got about the same scope of work from each.
I chose Driscoll in Mission Bay (near San Diego).  They gave me the lower
estimate, and could do the work that same weekend (as could the other yard,
but bucks is bucks..) They hauled JACE out, and let us stay aboard with
power while the work was progressing.  Their employees were friendly
helpful, courteous and provided a great job.  Did I mention we got to stay
aboard?...

      The work was first class, and because I expressed some worry about the
leaks, they let me stay at their repair dock for the weekend following the
launch so I could be assured everything was fixed.

      One of the men compounded, waxed and polished JACE from stem to stern
and cabin top to water line for a reasonable sum, and she looks great.

      JACE is back at home in Dana Point, and we are as proud as ever.  Best
of all they came in under their quote, even with adding on two small jobs.

      Happy?  YOU BET.  Driscoll Boatyard in Mission Bay
(http://www.driscoll-boats.com/boatyard/index.html).  Good folks, great
work, and nice to us on all counts.  Call them if you need something done.

  Regards,
  Les H

    Catalina 38 list,

    I am forwarding an email thread between myself and Catalina Yachts
concerning chain plate removal.  It appears that the chainplates were not
designed to be removed for inspection.

      I spoke to Gerry and showed him the photos.  The way to rebed the
chain plates is from the outside.  The cover around the base on the deck can
be removed.  At that point you can rebed them.

        Attached is a photo of the starboard aft lower chainplate viewed
from above deck.  The chainplate on the port side is identical only
opposite.  Note that 2 of the bolts shown in the photo go through the deck
and connect to the chainplate bracket below the deck.

          That chain plate looks as if it has been replaced at least once.
Something looks different about it.

          I am sorry to ask, but could you please take a photo of what it
looks like on deck?

          Thanks you,
          Lenore

            Attached are 2 photos of the starboard aft lower chainplate.  My
real question is how does one remove it for inspection and rebedding.
