So, quick overview. Thur before storm I sailed up to Boot Key Harbor for a mooring ball. Then history struck. I was one of 54 boats (sail and power) that made it out of a little more than 300 that were on balls and anchor. 250 balls 50 on anchor.
Sailboat is a 1979 37ft O'day center cockpit. Took good hits. Pics to follow. Anchor roller was pushed back into deck. Stemhead area not to good.
The violence in harbor was extreme. 130+winds 10-12 seas in a very small area. Shook my 3cyl yanmar off of fiberglass stringers that engine pan sat on. Thank God it did not break stern tube.
So, any advice on how to tackle anchor roller crush would be awesome. I do have good glass and epoxy skills. Finished a wooden trimaran in the 90's. I am rusty on technique. Mostly wood/glass/epoxy.
This boat is from the old fiberglass school of the 70's.
Tough as hell in my opion.
So, I need advice on new materials and techinque plz.
