[quote=rch701]I am racing tomorrow and I noticed many (7 of 8) of my beam straps are flush to the deck. The boat still feels rigid and the bolts are tensioned to spec. I imagine the elongated at the bolt holes being the smallest section.
Question is, should I do nothing and race 42 miles in lighter conditions solo, or do I fabricate a spacer the put between the straps and beam (think 1/16" plastic sheet or rubber or 20ga stainless steel) to give me some space between the hull and strap?
I fear messing with any of it will more than likely cause me to cancel plans.[/quote]
