    A moisture meter is not that expensive. Test all your structural through bolt areas regularly with these designs/types of wood used. Your life depends on these things being up to strength, the same goes for your rigging points. It was the first thing I did, I found significant problems with no outward visible signs of a problem Stay safe, fair winds

It's so much fun and joy sailing , adventuring and surfing with your son. I hope everyone makes the time for these precious moments. When you eventually die these are the things you remember and it's also part of our karmic journey to connect deeply with our children . Enjoy this little video building a hut on a tropical island. Me and Sandra Kimler also got to enjoy this island and some of its coconuts.
