Reply to: Rescue for 1963 Shark cat

Message body

[quote=eastcoastergb]I also am resurrecting a Shark. I owned it first in the early 80's, it came back to me as a pair if fibreglass hulls and luckily a full rig, a couple of years ago. The guilt of neglect got to me earlier in the summer so now I have an ongoing problem in the workshop.
I've remade all of the deck structure and added some sealed bulkheads to break up the buoyancy and add strength to the c/board case - quite a lot of cracking in the gel coat.
My problem is that I want to put reinforcing pads to take deck fittings under the ply deck skin and I can't find a picture of the deck plan anywhere just lots of spray and people trying not to capsize.
So a bit stuck - If anyone can give me any dimensions it will be very helpful. It would also give me a clue as to where the sheet block for the foresail goes and so also be able to chose which sail I should use from the faded and very full old bag.
I have pictures of the stainless bracket thing that I made for the C/board to swing on, if wvsailingnut would like, I can't work out how to upload images here yet though. When I do I will.
I can't find another Shark in England (yes other side of the pond) so I some one can help.[/quote]
