Hi all,
I just had the boat hauled out and noticed some cracking in the forward part of the keel. The yard is recommending to grind it back and put an additional layer of glass in, which seems sensible. it doesn't seem too deep but I'll have to see how far it goes when they start grinding it back. Anyone else have experience with this?
I checked my photos from when I last had the boat hauled for its survey and the slings covered this exact spot, so it might have gone unnoticed before. I haven't been hard aground in the boat since I've had it but I did get an assist out of some mud - it didn't seem like we used excessive force so seems unlikely that would have caused it?
Best,
Fergus
