Thor

Andrea Vaira from Savona, Italy writes with details of his GK24 "Thor". The boat has been constructed in 1977. The boat hasn' t the sail number. The engine is a Evinrude sail yachting (or sailing yacht, I don' t remember the name) 8 hp outboard and the boat has a mast head rig. Sails set: 1 main sail, 2 genoa (one big and one medium), 1 jib (6 square meters), 1 spinnaker The boat is of my girlfriend's (Daniele) father but in the last 2-3 years he has no time, so I became the only user (with my girlfriend and in partucular with my friends) and I make by myself everywork Thor needs (sometimes my friends help me). These are the principal works made: In the 2002-03 when Daniele bought Thor he remaked the hull (all the bottom works) with epossidic bicomponent product because it had suffered the osmosis effect. In march 2004 Daniele repainted the hull with antifouling. During a sailing trip the rudder broke at the waterline point (north wind force 6/7, state of the sea: smooth, but thanks to outboard engine for coming back). The blade rudder broke in two parts at the waterline point: one disappeared into the sea and the other remained attached to two metal fixing! In may 2007 I repainted the hull with antifouling and I removed the paint from the keel because it showed bubbles full of water. I repainted the woods with a varnish.
