A trip to Wiggers

From Presqui'le Bay we headed for Wiggers Custom Yachts. We were sinking in our beautiful new yacht. Our center board sits in a trunk which has a plate on top for inspection. It turned out that the bolts holding it down were insufficient for the job. Wiggers lifted us enough to raise the trunk top above the water level fixed the fibreglass, re bedded and put larger lag bolts in. When we got home it started to leak again so i replaced a few more of the undersized bolts and we are no longer sinking.
