Thanks, Jake. I'll take a look under the anti fouling around the top of the keel stub this year. I've had two yards try to solve the crack at the back of the keel (the C&C frown?), but it is back this year with a little water weeping out. It's (now) all solid fiberglass in that area, so I don't know where the movement is starting.
