Welcome to The "ALOHA BANKS" Clipper Marine 30 Web Page!
This web-blog is my online journal of the refitting project on my CM30 Clipper Marine Sailboat. You'll find
a variety of topics on the actual refitting as well as links to other sites on the web that I have found helpfull in
the project.
Here "She" is. This is the boat sitting in her slip on Karr Lake. The boat is now 90% complete. My ne goal
is to have her ready for the spring cruise sailing season.
Where has the winter gone, behind us
I hope. Went to Mexico for Christmas and haven’t worked mush on the boat since then. My son Rick
and I did get the hull insulated and the laminate up in the ”V” birth area. The 1” insulation foam was glued to the hull with
3 M and then the laminate was applied. Pictures are added on the refit page. I’ve started to cut the foam and will do the
cushions next week. Davits, swim platform and rudder will be the following week. Finally the reefing jib and the water storage
tank will complete the necessary items to get her back in the water.
This is where it all started with Ricki
and me putting his boat in the water and taking mine out. At least the refit. Notice the cradle on the car hauler Ricki designed
and built to move his boat from Maryland to Raleigh with boat unseen.
That’s Ricki's Ford F350 full size diesel pulling the CM30 on our 27’ sailboat trailer.
