No, it is not Talk Like a Pirate Day. I just discovered more rot on the boat. As I was preparing to add in am aluminum backing plate to reinforce the mainsheet bail/traveler on the stern, I discovered that the plywood backing that was glassed in at the factory to reinforce the rudder attachment points had rotted out. I shouldn't be surprised. As it was sitting stern-down collecting water and debris for years, all the water ran down hill to this point. I guess the good news, is that I think I only need to replace the section behind the rudder and not all the way across the top of the stern.
