[C320-list] Failed Strut

[Bruce Heyman]

Hi All,

We hauled Somerset last week and while the surveyor missed it but the
shipyard caught it, the strut is cracked at the location where it is bedded
into the hull.   Catalina Direct is quoting the shipyard a 11-12 week
delivery date.    Does anyone remember the name of the extremely helpful
individual at the Catalina Factory in FL?   The shipyard is also offering to
manufacture a new one out of G10 which would eliminate the delay and the
need to for a second haul out.   

Would be interested if anyone has any experience with G10 and/or if you have
an opinion on this potential solution.

Thanks!

Bruce
