I noted this a while back on my findings about the keel hull joint on the
35/3 and 33/2 models and that comment got a fair amount of disagreement from
some owners on this list.but I really liked the 35/3 design . and the 33/2
design as well but I learned that both have some serious issues where the
keel joins to the hull that might require significant repair which may or
may not solve the problems, depends how the repair is done.it is an
important area to fix and I believe that one of our members has experience
in doing it properly.ask and you will find out.the fix is relatively
expensive but worth it if you like your boat.IMHO do the proper fix and
you'll not regret it

Subject: Stus-List Keel stub cracks

 

Hello all 35-3 owners - I'm looking for some advice, especially from those
who have re-habbed their keels on this model...

 

I was checking on Mojito this morning, and noticed beads of moisture in two
areas; a spot at the top of the keel trailing edge and an 8" hairline crack
on the port side at hull / keel stub (almost exactly where the mast step is
internally).  Would this have been enough for you to go ahead with major
keel surgery?

 

Rear of keel

I've been trying to resolve this for a while; two separate boat yards have
had a go at if, and the area is now solid fiberglass / epoxy, but still a
tiny crack / area of moisture. There was water in the bilge just aft of the
rear keel bolt (I removed the floorboards and sponged the area dry).  Water
would not normally stay in that area, but the boat is tilted back a little
on the stands.  I have not had the keel bolts torqued in 7 years (since I
bought Mojito).

 

Mast Step area

This is the first year I've noticed moisture in that area; there have been
hairline cracks in the antifouling before.  The mast is stepped and I can't
access that area through the mast step, which appears sound.

 

Thanks,

 

Tim
