Wreck and Resurrection : How I Made $60,000 Repairing My Sailboat
Year: 2001 Language: english Author: David Harris Genre: Technical book Publisher: Tortuga Books Edition: First ISBN: 9781893561038 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 195 Description: After my 32-foot catamaran sailboat, Top Cat, was wrecked during Hurricane Georges in September, 1998, I repaired it my self. This book is an account of my experiences with the wreck and the repair. Months of effort were required to get the insurance claim paid, though there were no disputed issues, and that is a part of this account. As a homeowner I had done simple plumbing, carpentry, and electrical work, but I had virtually no experience working on boat repairs and none at all with fiberglassing. I learned the necessary skills as the job progressed and sometimes I learned the hard way. My education in the basics of boat repair is also part of this story. The hands-on work of repair took six months, but the big gest part of the job was planning, organizing, and obtaining parts to replace those that were missing or damaged. Hundreds of let ters, faxes, e-mails and telephone calls were required to put Top Cat back together. I communicated with the insurance agent, the claims adjuster, the insurance company, the Florida Depart ment of Insurance, the boat manufacturer, equipment and parts suppliers, sailboat riggers, sailmakers, and many others.
