I followed his suggestion and did it to my boat.

When we removed the toerails, we epoxied all of the old holes shut so we could drill a new series of holes, but there is no glass over the external joint, mainly because through bolting is a structural necessity. If you want to strictly have a glassed hull to deck joint, then a LOT of work must go into it to make it structural such as feathering the new glass work a good foot and a half or more down the side of the hull. Our bolt size and spacing measurements were taken from Lloyds of London scantlings requirements for a boat our size/displacement and shape.Andrew Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288335480928246576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501759687333743794.post-53004449173527150402014-05-10T08:24:57.996-04:002014-05-10T08:24:57.996-04:00I'm undertaking the same project (ugh!).

If so, did you guys do that, or was it done previously?<br /><br />RobAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03375316909330002521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501759687333743794.post-11555070193700096762013-06-18T12:27:02.301-04:002013-06-18T12:27:02.301-04:00That's mighty impressive, guys.
