Mike,
Thanks for the kind words. Actually it's folks like you and so many others that assist in keeping me to stay motivated. To see you out sailing is something I long for with Ceili. Someday.

As for recoring: for me, It was the initial getting over the notion of having to use a circular saw to remove the outer skin and/or inner skin as I have done it from both sides. You may be able to re-use your outer skin during the recoring, if so, that will save you some money in glass and resin layup. You'll have to make an assessment as to the condition of it once removed. Epoxy, glass and associated supplies you will go through add up quickly in expenses, but...... doing it yourself will save you bundles of money and will enhance your bond with your commander, not to mention providing much satisfaction.
