Dear Professor Please could you send me the same detailed info. I have a similar issue with Scaramouche 57/02 and am considering a keel drop. Sue

Hello to everyone i want to share my experience about the keel. I don't know what they use on other swans, but on KIPRIDA, I have led keel on the top of led keel GRP plate - I think they did this on the first models to get nice flat surface to bond to the hull, and hull. On my boat they had some issue when they poured led to the mold, the led was not hot enough, I have some cracks, on the back of the keel, or was wrong temperature of mold. When I got the boat the keel was glassed over with 3 layers glass with polyester, bottom with epoxi. GRP plate on the top of led was build on the top of led, it mean no bonding compound. When I remove all GRP glassing, on the front part of joint I had 3 mm gap, and "0" on the back. Inside the gap was a lot brown bonding compaung, I dig some, to try in the hand - really sticky. Brown compound remind me 3M5200 removable. I decided to don't drop the keel, just remove nuts put some anticiese grease and put nuts back with a right torc, all numbers get from Lars. Gap on the front compleatly disappear, after few days I start to see brown compaund what was start to slowly come out from joint. Thanks to Lars Kind regards odiss (44/02 KIPRIDA) |
