		<description><![CDATA[Neville Cork recently purchased a relatively new, privately constructed, A-cat and after reviewing in detail, we saw a couple of areas that needed some attention.  While Neville is working diligently to try and have the boat refinished by the Spring Fever Regatta, I helped him reinforce the area where the rear beam is bonded to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve received some feedback in the form of doubt with respect to the recent project of the carbonfiber strips reinforcing the basement wall. To those folks, I offer up this video, assembled by Fortress Stabilization Systems as proof of concept. (If I can figure out how to embed a raw video file again).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before I get too deep into this one, no, I&#8217;m not crazy and yes, this will really work! The engineering behind it is sound and there&#8217;s evidence of it&#8217;s success elsewhere! The problem: A good friend of mine recently purchased a fixer-upper house and knew that there was some problems with the 60&#8242; front basement [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve sailed on an a-cat only once and it was in really light and patchy breeze a couple of years ago. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had some issues and wasn&#8217;t able to finish Undecided in time for spring fever. I did get the white gelcoat sprayed on but because of the two tone scheme, I had to wait until the white completely cured to mask and spray the port side yellow color. With a small weather window last Saturday [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I started some work yesterday on a friend&#8217;s boat that suffered an altercation with a tow boat during the Tradewinds regatta several weeks ago. It had some pretty bad damage to the bow of the port hull where it was split, crushed, and bent off to the side. In case you&#8217;re wondering, you&#8217;re not looking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No, this isn&#8217;t some sexual inuendo&#8230;I&#8217;ve recently received several requests for information about performing a bottom (or keel) job on a beach cat. Because our boats are so mobile, occasionally they find themselves sliding up a sandy, shelly, or even rocky beach. If you are really careful, the bottoms of your boat hulls will stay [...]]]></description>

We rigged the boat and made a long list of things that need to be addressed; new lines, trampoline, most of the line hardware, [...]]]></description>
