Log of Alberg 30 #262 on 31 March 2025


Date: 31 March 2025 1030 till 31 March 2025 1500
Endpoints: Whitehall Marina to Whitehall Marina
Purpose: Cut out damaged section of toerail at the starboard bow
Complement: Yoni Bresler
Weather: 70's to low 80's

  • Freed forward half of the quarter-round screwed into the top of the starboard bow toerail to expose the aft end of the damaged section.
  • Created a jig to help guide the PR20EVS router .
  • Used the router to remove the damaged teak in multiple passes, removing a thin section each time. In doing so, exposed part of a screw that secured the torn-off cleat. Exposed one of the machine screws securing the toerail to the hull without hitting the head of the machine screw with the cutter.
  • Dug out the broken off screw. Perhaps a #10.
  • Used a chisel to create square corners at the fore and aft ends of the routed out area.
  • Neither piece of wood that I brought was an acceptable fit for the area. Will have to check for additional pieces at home.
