The HeatOwner: Jon Duff, Marina Del Rey 1945 Luders 16, 26 ft. Purchased in 1981 as a basket case, rebuilt and splashed in 1992. "The Heat" is a traveling boat, having sailed in the McNish Classic in Oxnard as well as in Luder's One Design Races in Newport Beach and San Diego. Unlike traditional planked wooden hulls the cold-molded hull seems to remain relatively leak free. A serious application of West System Marine Epoxy may have a lot to do with it too. |
