Hi David! Thanks for the response. That is a relief that the keel and the rudder are the same depth. I would hate to run aground on the rudder. I live on the...
One more thing, I am not experiencing any serious rudder issues. I have done some modification to the rudder arrangement but all in all, I think it's a real...
Tommy, I just posted a note to you. Mine is a shoal draft and, like you, I have been racing all my life. I am pleased with the shoal draft keel. I think it...

I have noticed water too and we have a cover on the boat. I attribute it to the main sail channel. Late last fall I injected some silicon into the channel just...
Went back tonight and everything was dry. I think I am going to look into having the keel bolts re-torqued. This could simply be a case of the bedding/sealant...
Jason, I too have done this, sponged out the sump only to find more water when I come back. I have no idea where it's comeing from. I alway thought the mast...
Has anyone ever experienced any issues in the keel sump area?. I ask, because I continue to see water accumulating in the bilge when I don't expect it to be...
The pawls themselves will most likely be fine. It is the springs that may have broken. I agree that the ones from West marine will most likely work. The most...

HI Bill Sorry to say I have not gotten very far! I had my boat ready to haul on Columbus day weekend, but the yard was slow and she was hauled the week before...
JP, How goes the deck hardware/wet core work? If I am correct you had some suspect spots you were going to attend to this winter, and i was just wondering if...
