I believe our C&C yachts use lead doped with a percent of Antimony. The
Antimony adds strength, hardness, oxidation resistance, and aids in the flow
for the casting process.It not like pure lead, and the properties are not the
same. maybe we have some metallurgists in the group, and they can comment ?

the boat another 50 years I won’t be aground at extra-low tide! Joe Della

Subject: Stus-List Re: C&C 35 MK I Keel Bolts The keel bolts are in lead. Lead
is soft and eventually they would pull upwards slightly. I would assume that
is why. I have been planning to contact MARSKEEL and get some pro info.
