This is off topic, but what did soda blasting cost?   Secondly,  did the boat 
yard charge to having soda blaster work on site?  Yards here either won’t allow 
outside contractors or charge them to work in their yard.

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.

 

Jake

Jake, I know you've documented your project, but what did the cracks look like 
before you started?  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
