We're back on the lines and not on the stands any longer. Four years and some months of repairs to the hull for blisters and age. If we survive the winter we begin on the upper deck repairs in the spring. I'm hoping to have at least the house top deck completed by the end of summer. If that comes earlier I will start on the after house top. All decks and structure below all port lights need attention and soon. I've been prowling the lists, back to 2005 so far, and have found little in the repair department and a smattering in the cover it and hope method. I want to do better. Questions: Who would the gurus be on restoration of the decks, and house sides, below the windows on CHB's? Who would just like to kick in a penny or two's worth of information? What have been the procedures most often used and which have been the most successful? MV Copper CHB 33 Afloat at Spencers Landing Marina Shoal Bay Lopez Island Wa.
