We are trying to fix up a neglected , old 27' sailboat inherited from a family member. I'm in the process of having a surveyor go over it, so I can get insurance. He's found blisters on it, and the stuff I read on the internet about them sounds horrifying, but I'm not sure the ones on this boat are larger than an dime. I'va had a quote of $1500 to fix that problem, and still waiting for the rest of the survey info.
If the cost of the repairs to the boat are equal or greater than the estimated value of the boat (maybe $5000), what alternatives do I have? How are old boats (legally) disposed of? thanks for any input, I'm not particularly physically fit or nautical, just trying to deal with this in a responsible way.
In my defense, I'm tired and I have two boats in different locations I must ready for launch in the next two weeks while I finish off two large publishing job. I can hardly get to my beverage these days before the ice cubes are half-melted.
And you COULD use Dyneema shrouds...but not with Sta-lok terminals, I guess!
Now that would be worth watching. One sun burnt protégée running around the bush at night with a torch (flash light) in one hand and a greased up carrot in the other, yelling in a foreign tongue, in pursuit of a horrified national icon. It would not end well.

Good Lord ! What a horrifying image. Lord Downer of Bagdad , carrot at the ready, chasing Wee Johnie Howard through the mulga. Disturbing, very disturbing..

It's my understanding that the lack of succes of the French towel had nothing to do with the tassles falling off while transiting rough surfaces. The fault appears to be in the water hose they are wrapped around!!!
