Hi Davis,
This is a very good question. I would drop the
keel and restore the stringer/hull integrity first!
This is the basis of your keel/hull interface.
The rebed of keel is fairly routine once this is done.

Unfortunately, I had to haul Feya because of a
leaking at the most aft keel bolt. The surveyor
at the yard has determined that the boat was
grounded at one time and there is at least one
stringer that has separated from the hull. ( I
wish the surveyor for the purchase found this).
When the hull is sounded in that area, it sounds
like there are marbles inside. The plan is to
repair the stringer and rebed and glass in the
keel. I will be able to bring the boat to my
backyard and do it on my time. I will have the
yard rebed because they will drop the keel and
eval the condition of the bottom of the keel
stub, and repair if necessary. They will also
place shims to decrease play at the joint.Â
My question is, should the stringer be repaired
before or after the keel hull joint?Â
Thanks in advance.
