After a few days thought I have formulated a plan. I am going to do my best to dry the step and then saturate it with penetrating epoxy. This is not a long term fix but it should at least help. I am going to launch the boat as scheduled in May. I'll keep an eye on things under sail and refrain from really pushing the boat and/or rig. I seriously doubt anything is so far gone it is going to fail in the near future. Down the road, well.... This will give me a full summer to get to know the boat and plan a more comprehensive repair. I am going to look at lots of options in design an materials. I really like the idea of tying the keel and stringers together. It also gives me lots of time to pick a yard to work with. I am going to do the bulk of the work myself, but I obviously will need the yards cooperation and help to rebed the keel. |
