I've got a crack that runs from front to back in on both sides of the keel. I'm assuming that the fiberglass in that area needs to be removed, the keel bolts...
Most of the Yankee 30s that I've seen have the crack you're speaking of. It's the joint between the fiberglass and the cast lead keel. Your keel bolts...
I would say this happens on a large majority of yachts with a bolt on keel. It does not require fiberglassing over the joint. The main concern here is water...
To my knowledge, the keel bolts in all Yankee 30s are bronze and massive ones at that. _____ From: yankee30@yahoogroups.com [mailto:yankee30@yahoogroups.com]...

Hello Steve and friends, As mentioned in a previous posting, I was finally able to remove Avocet's rudder. There was electrolysis damage on the shaft at the...

... There's always one in the crowd and I say that to you respectfully with a smile. I actually asked the same question to the machinist / owner of the shop,...
Hi Andy, Thanks for the message. I am only a hopeful Yankee 30 owner. It is the boat for me. One of these days. Regarding the great brass debate - so called...
