Scott, Your comments were heartening! I have spoken with an experienced surveyor who described this problem as common to many lighter boats with bolt on keels. He told me that it was not the end of the world and that an adequate fiberglass repair job (after grinding out the entire crack on both sides) would be sufficient. Since I've already had major repairs to the mast step area (including new fiberglass over the ribs, I am hestitant to introduce new keel bolts (thereby adding in another repair $$) unless absolutely needed. However, I did like what you said about your improved upwind performance. I let everyone know of the repairs when completed. |
