Eric: A repair of exactly this problem was performed recently on a short rig 9.1 called Slingshot out of Chicago. The repair was performed by Torresen Marine in Muskegon, Michigan. I had a brief opportunity to view the work prior to repair, but have since forgotten the exact nature of the what finally fixed it. You could contact Torresen Marine and ask for Brian Torresen. Tell him you know me (Scott Corder). He is very familiar with me, with the boat, and with the Class. As many as four 9.1 meters are stored and cared for at their facility each winter. He has done all the repair work on my boat (mast step, stringers and new bottom)(these repairs have been described in detail throughout the web site here). They have also done repairs on other boats you can read about here: past champions Spectra and Stimulator as well as Tenacity, Optimist and Slingshot. Torresen's phone number is 231-759-8596. They also have a very extensive web site at torresen.com. They are widely ackowledged to be one of the best repair shops on Lake Michigan and around the Great Lakes. Very competent folks. I'm sure Brian wouldn't mind offering some advice over the phone or email. |
