Fine Tuning "The Fortune"
12-13-2011
Bill Roecker
"The Fortune is still hauled out of the water," wrote owner-skipper Bruce Smith about his new boat December 14, "and sitting in the Knight and Carver boat yard in South Bay San Diego. This is a routine semi-annual haul out required by the Coast Guard, but would have been done anyway so that I could see what kind of shape the running gear (propellers, shafts, struts, etc.) was in. We had a lot of build-up on the hull and props, most of which came off with a high-powered hose, but the props were taken away yesterday by Wilmington propeller to be balanced and cupped. With the clean hull and improvement on the props I am expecting to get much better fuel consumption and speed. Other than that, bottom side Coast Guard inspection went very well. We are doing a little bit of painting and in the process of totally resealing the rails. We are hoping to be back in the water and at Fisherman's Landing this Friday.
