Stefan, from looking at your pictures I would VERY DEFINATELY get a competant yard and marine surveyor involved. Then seperate your keel from the hull and withdraw all bolts and check for corrosion. Then replace as required any bolts and re seat the keel. Take the time to repair any damaged GRP on the stub inside and outside. Do not repalce the cover over the joint as it cracks everytime you sit the yacht back on land. This is not something to try and do yourself on the cheap!

I had the keel taken off 411 42 due to a crack in the front less than the one shown in the pictures. The bolts had been glassed over from what I understood as built new yours seem not to be glassed so at a guess the keel has been off or tightened with the removal of the glass. I'm sure the prof will correct me if I'm wrong. It helped but did not solve the problem, one of the later owners had the keel taken off again at Hamble Yacht Services and I understand they found a void in the laminate under the keelbolts at the bow. This caused flexing however tight the keelbolts were I would suggest you check the laminate if you have the keel off. |
