Lewis - thanks for the suggestion re the video - they did a great job of repairing the floors in that boat - what a huge project! The link is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyKy-cDy6e8
Neil - thanks for your comments. I wish I had been there for the survey but it was done by the buyer in another city. I presume the movement in the keel was measured at the bottom. Apparently the movement was visible to the lift operator too when he lifted her from the water. I have not noted any movement when I hauled her last year and there is no visible separation between stub and keel when in the water or on the hard. I think I will take her out on a windy day and make some marks in the bilge area and see what moves around when we go from tack to tack! I have not tried tightening the keel bolts because have not seen any reason to, but maybe this is worth a try. I presume I would have to be hauled out to do so. Thanks, Chris
