Hi Kevin
I am not sure if the stud is screwed into the keel or not. We are on the hard so can take some measurements – probably this weekend >From your photos it looks like it will be a challenge to remove the remaining >stud Will be back after the measurements John & Maryann From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Kevin Paxton via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2017 8:11 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Kevin Paxton Subject: Re: Stus-List Baby Stay Hull Stud Thanks John, That's what I was afraid of. Sounds like this is not going to necessarily be an easy fix. Just so I make sure I understand what your saying. * The stud is believed to be attached directly to the keel. * If that is true, then the shaft of the stud is probably 3+ inches through the hull and into the keel. * Possible fix would be to drill out the hole, tap the new hole and try to thread a new stud in its place. * Re seal the hole with epoxy and filler? If it's directly attached to the keel, would threading a new hole be strong enough? How far down should I drill it out? I don't have exact measurements but the stud itself looks to be almost 1/2" thick. Where can I find something that large? I can only seem to find lifeline studs so far. I also can't seem to find any information on this kind of thing online anywhere. Any suggestions on where to look?

Obviously some water got into the stub recess and corroded the stub itself. Pretty impressive to cause the stud to crack apart. FWIW, we consider the baby stay an integral part of the rig and its integrity as it prevents the mast pumping – with the added benefit of helping to shape the mainsail. Not 100% sure, but it would make structural sense the stud is threaded into the keel itself. Otherwise the upward pull would be like trying to separate the keel from the hull stub. I do know the keel sump is about 3 inches thick at its forward edge. Some careful measurements both inside and outside might be in order. I will check our 34 dimensions when next there in a week or so. In any event, it looks like a job best handled on the hard – remove the remaining stud, rethread the hole and reattach a new stud. Seal appropriately.

I haven't used the baby stay since we've gotten the boat (~3-4 years ago). But I know it was previously attached. It seems it broke sometime in the last month or so. It looks like water may have gotten down into the hole and it seems to have rusted away. 1. Any ideas on it's actual shape and size? It looks to me like a standard rigging stud, just fairly thick. But I have no idea how it was attached, or if there was a mounting plate or anything that was glassed in to the hull? 2. Replacements? Anywhere I can find it? 3. How do I re-mount it? Is this something I can do while in the water? Or am I going to have to dig something out and re-bed the whole thing? Here are some photos for reference. https://drive.google.com/file/d/104c_WRGp5_HCtd4GugDWbI8x96faZjEFSg/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a2KxDYLuZkHMvqg4JLqBBLxrnznGlI7wRg/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H39DlvaqaiM1mwf8bCz-pu9WoPGzmeSu4Q/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sgCnY_SpTw5gkoOjHk21Yp0-lgfjdgjpjw/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/10enub0yr-OfrLbfdpeNC3UTjGTgpBX_wUA/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d4lj_XnK39SYJLaGANr5tAeF-BV_KYMVqg/view?usp=sharing Thanks, Kevin Paxton '82 34 #473 Japhys Spirit Cornfield Creek, Magothy River, MD _______________________________________________ The bills have started coming in for the year 2018 and have gone up again.
