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 wher
It appears that it is tape AND (sticky) gauze. But thanks for mentioning it,
even if it was different, B/C I have been looking for that sticky gauze for
some time now! When your first mention of this was posted I googled it and
found some and ordered it, we use if to wrap around fingers so we don't
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
Glad I was partially right. I'm sure there is some other stuff out there by the
same name. Research.

Tim,
Do you have a hydraulic backstay adjuster?

Good point. I do like a nice tight forestay... Upwind setting is between 1500
to max of 2000 kpsi, which I didn't think would be too much. Maybe a couple of
longitudinal stringers in between the ribs in that area would help, or living
with more sag / less pointing ability.

1500-2000 kpsi. whow !!! 1kpsi = 1000psi but I may be confused on units
I think my Navtec adjuster reads in psi, not kpsi. I find 1500-2000 psi OK
and sometimes up to and above 2500psi in real heavy air.your boat should
take that without cracking IMHO. I have experimented with backstay ten
Yes, you're right, 2kpsi max.

Yep. Back off a bit on your max setting. I did. No more cracks. But I also
slapped a couple layers of biaxial tape over the area. I use a dinghy batten
taped to the backstay. It's marked with strips of green, yellow, red and
finally black tape to mark the tension. Lot easier to see than l
Jake:
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.

Fred,
For my 35 I think I paid $1800 for the blasting. The company was onsite.

When I bought my 25 I had the bottom soda blasted to remove all the old bottom
paint.
While fairing the keel/hull joint I noticed some small imperfections at the aft
end of the keel sump.
When I opened one up so I could fill and fair it, a stream of the antifreeze
that I had in the bilge start
Note I changed the subject line just for clarity.
Ditto on the backstay tension. Due to new instruments with vmg and new crew
watching trim, we had a chance to play with backstay tension a lot last summer.
I now keep it much looser than I ever had with very good results. Not sure if
