Fire damage

[Tomjhansen]

I recently had a pretty severe electrical fire aboard my 1973 Pearson 30. The heat from it separated some of the interior laminate. It seems that the mast step has tilted forward about a quarter of an inch. everything still feels solid enough and the shrouds are still tight. Is this something I should be freaking out about?

Re: Fire damage

... man thats a good looking sailboat. IMO yes, you created voids where there were none prior and shifted the weight of the mast unless i misunderstood. can the seperation be resealed, repositioned or adhered back together? hopefully others will chime more in the know to help your boat.

good luck
