Ron, Welcome. �I assume you mean the centerboard does not lower all the
way? �I've got a keel model. �my main concern would be the
condition of the cable. I had Osprey Marine at Herrington Harbor South soda
blast,epoxy and paint the bottom of my boat 1 1/2 years ago. �They did 4
coats of epoxy, 2 of paint. 35/3The OfficeAnnapolis

Yes we are a little late, its time to get moving on this. �We are

Her bottom needs to be stripped, and I've decided to consider the soda
blasting for that. �Caked and cracked paint with some painted over
cracked off flake areas. �She was surveyed - its just old layers of
paint - her hull is sound.
So after the soda-blasting what is next for the hull - do I need a new
barrier coat at this point? � We will change the bottom color from
blue to black and get a new waterline painted. �I would like the paint
to last two or more seasons. Primer? �Coats?
Also, the keel won't drop past about 80-90%. �Do I need to haul this
and put it high enough to drop the keel, or dig a trench under the
hull to drop it? �Sand, grind, primer and paint? �Any special
pointers
for dealing with a sticky keel? �It retracts ok but just doesn't drop
all the way. �Not a big deal as we are cruisers not racers, but I
would like it to work correctly and, of course, not get stuck. �Please
don't tell me to drop the keel unless you really have to tell me that.
One last detail will be to paint the new name on her transom. �The
previous one is painted on. �Would it be best to sand off the name and
repaint the transom? �Hull color is smoke white (original). �Can
that
be matched with new paint?
Finally, if anyone knows a provider in the Rhodes River (just South of
Anapolis) area that can do this reasonably and well I'd appreciate any
contact info on that.
And yes we will do a name change ceremony with champagne sloshed and
swallowed appropriately.
Thanks to any kind C&C sevants
