Must have the wrong hull number, 707 is sitting at my friends house in Morley mi.
It's the basic later east coast Triton, no special mods etc.

I have a Norvane on my Triton. I've had it for 3 years or so. I have a Monitor
on my Ranger
33. It's ( the Norvane) more trouble free than the Monitor. It costs half as
much as the Monitor. It has fewer parts that are just another place for a
problem. I was able to use it 90% of the time from
Berkley to La Paz Baja Sur, most of the time it was dead down wind which is the
hardest place for a wind vane to work. go to the Norvane website, they have a

installation which s something you can't say about the Monitor....On Thu,

Hey, Rob, Ted, Jean-Luc, Chris, Nick and Dan (of CI) -

Thanks for your collective advice and suggestions.  Will try a bit of each of
your ideas (sanding, xylene / epoxy, priming, Brightside, and carving out the
deeper / structural bits and epoxying.

the non skid.  I'm considering matching the non skid color and using an airbrush

Some crazing may be cosmetic and confined to the outer layers of polyester
resin.  Others may be due to deeper cracks in the fiberglass reinforced plastic.
Sanding followed by a layer of epoxy may fix the crazing.  It is sometimes
difficult to repair cracks that penetrate through the fiberglass laminate.

Harris,

I remember the post you are referring to. It was a year or 2 ago. Someone suggested a mix of epoxy and xylene. . It makes the expoxy water thin so it so it really penetrates the tiny cracks in the gel coat. I tried it but that was just a couple of months ago so I can't guarantee it yet. I also used that mix to treat dry rot in wood.

Harris,

    When I bought #96, the entire cabin top, in fact all of the smooth areas of the gel coat were crazed...more like checking. Instead of making it hard, I chose the lazy approach. First, I sanded with a power sander and 220 sandpaper. I then painted on some primer and sanded with again with 220 and added another coat of primer. Another sanding at 320, then I painted on a coat of Brightside. Now we are down the road about 17 years and I have had a complete resanding and paint with a couple of coats of Brightside. It looks great!

    There were a couple of areas which had some deeper crazing, usually at spots were there was an impact of some kind. There, I used my Dremel and a small sharp grinding tip and then filled the areas with a filler and primed and painted.....no biggie, for sure!

    I subscribe to the 50-50 approach to car restoration and I applied it to the boat. That is, it has to look good from 50 feet at 50 mph. Give it a try and see if this approach will be sufficient for your desired outcome. If not, a little sanding and you can apply a more aggressive approach.

I have a 1961 EC Triton, "Sahalja" #217, in City Island, NYC, with extensive crazing over all deck areas. I've held off painting because I've been unsure how to prepare the deck first.

The prior post strongly urged NOT trying to grind down all the crazed gelcoat, but a more subtle approach of lightly sanding, then first using a diluted West system epoxy to fill in the crazing, building up to regular (undiluted) epoxy, and then priming/painting.

I'd like to try that, but wanted to hear again exactly what the solvent to initially dilute the epoxy is, and how much to use.

Harris, I too have a 63 triton, also at City Island at HYC, and also with a crazing problem 5 years ago. I asked the Interlux rep at a boat show and he advised me to use a couple of their products. I only had to do light sanding, but I did have to put on 2 coats of the undercoat, then 3 coats of the final paint. It was quite easy, but took some time. It has lasted 5 years and I notice now it should be done again. Dan McElwreath 296

My 63 EC had that problem, which I didn’t bother with for five years but just redid this spring along with my non-slip… if you’re talking about the deck area only…the hull and doghouse is another tale. The original nonslip was pretty much gone and the exposed deck (not non-slip) had many cracks and checks. At least on mine, there wasn’t all that much not covered by non-slip… mainly at the edges. For the serious cracks and chips… and knowing no better… I used west system epoxy with some thickener (conidial silica I think) to make it like peanut butter and applied and sanded down smooth. Worked well. Sanded everything then gave it two coats of high build primer (Petit) which filled in the small cracks and checks nicely. Then a couple coats of Petit white one part paint. Looked great. Then taped off the new smooth and painted white sections in order to apply non-slip – Kiwi Grip (Jamestown Distributors). Love the stuff. Comes in different colors and is like yogurt. “Paint” on an even coating, roll in the texture and immediately remove the tape so it doesn’t harden on. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the results. Covered all the cracks, chips, etc and even covered the old non-slip such that you’d never know it was there. No grinding or sanding to deal with and really covers up and seals all sins of the flesh… I should be so lucky! It’s my first attempt at such a project and if I can do it anyone can. Cheers.

A couple of years back, someone posted a response on what to do about crazing
(craizing?)

I have a 1961 EC Triton, "Sahalja" #217, in City Island, NYC, with extensive
crazing over all deck areas.  I've held off painting because I've been unsure
how to prepare the deck first.

The prior post strongly urged NOT trying to grind down all the crazed gelcoat,
but a more subtle approach of lightly sanding, then first using a diluted West
system epoxy to fill in the crazing, building up to regular (undiluted) epoxy,
and then priming/painting.

I'd like to try that, but wanted to hear again exactly what the solvent to
initially dilute the epoxy is, and how much to use.

Thanks,
Harris

Hi Yorgos,
I suggest you also pose your question to the Plastic Classic Forum (http://www.plasticc lassicforum. com/). You'll find a section on Questions and Answers and I'll bet you'll find someone there knowledgeable about the Pearson 26.
If I understand correctly, the rudder on your Drago 27 extends below the line of the keel. Rudders on Pearson Tritons are often replaced and modified, but I've never heard of one reaching deeper than the keel- making it exposed like that doesn't make sense to me.
Good luck!
David

Hi, i 'm Yorgos, new here. I own a Bill Shaw design (Pearson 26) made in Greece as Drago 27.
It is made in 1986 and has a volvo md7b (17 hp) engine. Is it right that the rudder has more draught than the fin keel?

Nick, Jim has one he may part with- I have one off of ebay (275.00)
and our local surplus has one for about the same price. They are pricy
but I have passed on ebay ones that went as high as 350.00 They do add a nice
touch to the cabin-and the deck cap is small and the pipe is 1 inch. check out
(google)Blue pelican surplus.

Salty Dog looks like Tim Lackey's day sailor....who'da thought by ripping the boats apart and making daysailors we could increase the value 20 times!

Go to boats .com and search for pearson triton. Shearwater is listed along with a Triton in Venezuala. But check out the one in Wisconsin named Salty Dog! Dan #656

I am familiar with Salty Dog. It has been moored in Eagle Harbor, WI for many years - it is the same harbor I moor my Triton. The man who owns(ed?) it bought a worn out hull a number of years ago. He removed the deck, fashioned a new one that has a small cuddy (like the forward cabin) forward and a long cockpit, like a Pearson Ensign. He then added 18" to the transom, a bowsprit with a modified cutter rig. I checked out the boats.com ad and noticed that the owner has lowered the price. Last year it was listed for 250K! It is a pretty boat.
