here goes:

>Our boats, in almost all cases, do not
have the “lead butting up against the fiberglass hull” as
such. You boat must have some sort of keel sump (bilge) that extends down
below the “ Hull ”.
It’s where water collects and where the keel boats are visible.
That “sump” usually is about 12 “ deep on boats over 35 feet……….
>
>If your crack is truly right up under the
hull and not down the keel shape about 12-14” or so, then you may have a
very serious issue. In the worst case, that “stub” could fall
off taking the keel with it. That result could be tragic.
>
>If, however, the crack you are describing
is actually around the keel at a distance of 12-14” down the side of the
keel from the belly of the hull, then the “Smile” repair topics on the
C&C site are more than sufficient to fix it.

>I, like Dennis, have had that joint
sanded, covered with Glass and recoated with barrier coat and bottom paint and
that was in 1998. There has been no subsequent issue.

>It sounds like a couple of sketches would
help this confusion, but I’m not competent enough with graphics to do
one, maybe someone on the list could help out here.

>Wish I had a
picture.. but it is the complete circumference of where the led keel buts up
against the fibreglass hull – there is a clear crack all around, but as I
said, it does not go very deep. It is the only boat in the yard exhibiting this
(but then most of the boats in the yard are traditional cruising boats).

>Peter, are you talking keel joint (fiberglass keel
stub joint to lead keel) or where the hull turns into the stub? I have
been fighting the latter for a couple of years and it is a much bigger deal
than the former. It looks like we'll need more surgery this winter.

folks in the yard seem to think that there is a problem. However, I have had
others suggest that I simply put some Sikaflex or 5200 on it and paint over it.
