Here is the keel. The keel had, on the starboard side, 3 areas that sea water got into from the keeling flexing and then breaking the fairing. Then mineral deposits got in the crack and started to expand, finally causing a blister like area. No actual blistering on the fiberglass keel sump just in the fairing area. I am aware that right after they lift the boat the crack will appear again but we tightened the keel bolts per the C&C manual and that is all you can do with this type of arrangement. I think!
Pete Z. checked out the
symmetry of the rudder and found it to good. Not perfect, the port side is a little fuller but good enough.
Here she is with the second coat of Petitt Ultima 60SR on her. Looks good to me and I didn't have to do shit. Just have to pay for it now. :( On the the 30th of April, she goes back in the water. Bought time!
Hopefully she is as fast as she looks.
