Design
The Brewer 12.8 is a center cockpit, cutter rigged, keel stepped sailboat with the famous "Brewer Bite" ¾ keel, centerboard, and skeg mounted rudder.
Hull and Deck
The hull is well constructed with airex coring. In 2003 a complete refinishing of the bottom was performed re-glassing all imperfections and ground fair. The entire hull was sanded to Gelcoat. Three coats of Interlux 1000/1001 were applied. Then three coats of 2000/2001 were applied. The entire underwater hull was then painted with three coats of Interlux Micron Extra blue ablative bottom anti-fouling paint. All painting was done according to Interlux specifications and recommendations. The boat has been hauled every year, examined for blistersNONE FOUNDlightly sanded and painted with Micron ablative paint.
