To Hull & Back! How to Fix a Decimated Hull-to-Deck Join

Let’s just say, that when we started removing the sections of toe-rail around our genoa tracks (Video link here: ▶️    • Back on Track - How to Eliminate Trac...   ), we opened a proverbial can of worms 🪱.

It was literally a case of “what lies beneath”, with the poor condition of our hull-to-deck join finally revealed.

There were cracks, corroded screws, and a timber core that wasn’t so much timber anymore as vegetable mulch! 🥴

It was with great trepidation that Julian ventured further from those problematic side-deck areas, finding more problems everywhere his hammer and chisel struck. 😵

This video is the story of what we found, and how we fixed it. It’s full to the brim of practical tips for anyone who finds themselves in the same, unfortunate situation as us – which could literally be anyone with a fibreglass boat and a timber toe-rail covering the hull-to-deck join.

On the bright side, this turned out to be the single biggest source of our interior leaks and consequent water damage, so fixing it – although a major job we hadn’t factored into the refit – was really a no-brainer and something that just had to be done.

Onwards and upwards as they say! ⛵️
