I've previously posted about my same experience re: the fingertight aft nut and keel bedding so many times that my head hurts every time I repost about it.
QuoteAre you thinking that CTY bolted-up the keel nuts/washers into wet gelcoat? Doesn't seem logical to me. What does, is the known issue on C-30s of torquing the nuts so many times that the washers compress the glass and bury themselves in the gelcoat.
QuoteThat said I'm unsure whether I would trust the yard with anything. Someone who blocks jack stands with 2x4s has (IMO only) questionable knowledge/conscientiousness and at worst doesn't care about their customers' yachts. Gimmeabreak -- don't they have lumber yards in ME?
QuoteSee above for (IMO) the danger of too-often and too-tighting of the keel nuts.
Keel nuts that are 40 ft-lbs shy do not cause the Catalina smile.
