[quote=tominpa]I have seen both Prindle 16s and Hobie 16's turtle fully and come up with mud. If it sticks into the bottom of the lake, it's really hard to upright. My friend on the Prindle was solo and forgot to throw the righting line over the top hull, and spent himself futilely pulling himself toward the Dolphin striker until the mast sank. I threw two friends overboard to help him.
I have been sealing every rivet and seam with silicone. The 3M 5200 would work incredibly well, but we don't need the adhesive. For bedding, I have moved to butyl rubber which seems to last indefinitely, while the 5200 seems to eventually crack.[/quote]
