Tim,
We found a number of hairline cracks in the keel stub. They were spread out and not really concentrated in one area. The boat was originally commissioned in Maine. I suspect that it had a hard grounding at some point. I didn’t notice any stress at the back of the keel, which is where you would expect to see major damage in a grounding. This past spring when I had the bottom paint soda blasted, we found some longitudinal cracks in the gelcoat and glass on the port and starboard side in the hull, less than a foot from the keel joint. One was over two feet long. They were grounded out and glassed in. It is all faired in nicely now.

Mojito has a couple of short hairline cracks at the hull / stub joint on the port side, and at the very rear of the keel. Thanks, Tim
