No more leaking keel bolts!

August 25, 2016  I wasn't able to be present for the launch, but the in the water test was successful...no leak in the bilge.  The bad news is that they found that the air conditioner thru-hull valve has a very slow leak.  Not a big problem as it is accessible and they only planned on leaving the boat in the water long enough to test all the work that was done that required the boat being in the water to test.  Everything else checked out.  They reported what I already knew...that some of the thru-hull valves squirt a bit when the valve is opened or closed.  At this point, it doesn't make sense to replace any of them...they aren't very accessible so that is a good thing.

View into the centerboard well showing the 5200 bead at the top making a good seal.

We're getting close to getting Owl Moon back in the water now!
