Yeah, Caleb, I'm getting closer and closer to making my own sink. I'm pretty sure now, that I don't want another stainless steel sink and probably make a plug off the old sink and then use gelcoat and polyester resin.
The trip to Stuart never materialized because my todo list was not getting any shorter and the marina in Green Cove Springs is located rather?conveniently?close to my sister's house so I can travel back and forth to fabricate and install stuff. But I did have a nice little voyage to St. Augustine with my daughter and her friend for spring break.

Matthias,
You are a handy kind of guy. It is my belief that you could fabricate?
a nearly exact replacement using your old holey sink as a model or even?
a mold.
I think you could use some lightweight cloth and epoxy and if you could?
figure out a way to apply some sort of 'mold release agent' to the?
original sink it would serve as a mold for your fabricated replacement.?
Ja?
I was wondering how your trip from Jacksonville down to Stuart Florida?
went? I could not connect with you while I was there over the week of?
March 11th for my mom's 90th birthday. Instead of going sailing we?
took a 3 day side trip up the Tamiami Trail over to Sanibel Island and?
back along Alligator Alley. It had been blowing it's head off from the?
NW and the beach at Sanibel was literally littered with all kinds of?
scallops, clams and even a few little octopi (most still alive). I?
spent some time throwing some of the Gulf Scallops and octopus that?
were still alive back into the water. No sailing for me but then there?
was too much wind around March 8-10.
Hope all are well.

Subject: [T27Owners] replacement sink
My galley sink has more than one hole!
When I got the boat I noticed a lot of rusty spots and tiny little pin?
holes all over the stainless
steel sink. I was trying to find a replacement without any luck and I?
coated the underside of
the sink with epoxy. It was working fine til yesterday when the wash?
water was starting to
find its way into the cabinet and finally onto the floor.
I was pretty sure the sink was original but when looking for?
replacement I cannot find the
right size which is 13x17.5".
I also would love to replace it with a plastic (ABS or fiberglass) sink?
since I end up doing the
dishes with ocean water a lot to preserve drinking water.
Anyone know where to look? I looked all day already.
