The story of ACE.

In 2008, the boat was hauled, through hull fittings removed, any soggy balsa removed then re-cored with balsa and covered with glass and vacuum bagged, per Farr International specifications (I have detailed receipts). The bottom was faired and coated with Interprotect 2000 barrier coat. Open transom and wheel modification was done the same time. Best boat surveyor in Pacific Northwest tapped the hull in September 2024 when boat was out of the water and found no water issues (he is available to confirm). This is the best FARR 395 on the planet.
