Surely the only approach to such things for a National 12 sailor is to phone P&B and ask Tom.....

Rick, Have you tried Holt Jap tape? We're using it for our rudder gasket and I'm starting to prefer it to webbing, carpet and that horrible fluffy white stuff you get from some chandlers. Jap tape doesn't hold mosture, grit or salt particles. It's got sticky stuff on the back of it so advise at this time of year heating it whilst applying with a hair dryer to get the glue to bond better. |

this isnt for inside the centreboard case! Its for the slot gasket on the bottom, the bit that stops the water going up!!

Slot gasket material from the local chandlery. Evo stik from B&Q, make sure it is the full strength evil melt your nostril type though. On the tornado we actually cut out the shape of the centreboard in the down position, as we are lazy and leave it down all the way around the course. I find it is better to have two halves rather than just slitting it down the centre. Make sure you key the boat and the gasket material well with sandpaper and clean with acetone. Mask off the area you want to attach glue to on the hull and the gasket. Do not go to the edge of the hull as you need to allow the gasket to move slightly, as the board goes up and down. Apply glue to both sides, allow to go touch dry, then very carefully apply to hull after removing masking tape For extra security we add a strip of the brown parcel tape to the leading edge, mostly because the trolley can rub on this when on shore. Job jobbed get a beer. |
