[QUOTE=cappy208;67399]Although mine is an armchair quarterback estimation, they should only have to get 45% of the hull (on the Stbd side) air tight. Especially since the port side is easy to fix, and the. Rest of the port side is damage free. So that is ‘only’ about 25% of the total volume.[/QUOTE]
?? How do you get 45% hull or anything air tight. On the starboard side! It is below water … and probably not damaged! And what do you do then? Pump air into it? The starboard side? I do not follow!
Isn’t it better to make the whole hull watertight again and pump out the water?
