My Big Repair for this season!!

[CoolBreeze]

Well, had some serious issues with my keel this Spring... had to get my hands dirty.

Well, here's the fruits of my labour: enjoy!!

Front edge - before



Front edge - repaired



Bottom before



Trailing edge - before (hole)



Trailing edge - repaired ;D



Waiting in the slings for a keel



Guiding it in (with some help!!thanks guys)



Unscrewing the yoke so we didn't have to jack it up too far.



Me doing last touch-ups ;D



Final FIXED product - and it fits like a glove!! ;D ;D ;D



Waiting the the slings, ready to go into the water the next morning!!



She went in Sat morning, with no events. New motor mount is awesome, now I need to clean her up, finish some minor rigging and electronic upgrades, but that can all be done in the water! Let the summer begin!

Congratulations Rob. That's quite a repair job.
I bet if you had shipped your old keel up to Ontario in exchange for a re-built one sent here, your wallet would be $2500.00 lighter... considering over $1500.00 for the re-built with trade in...shipping both ways and taxes.
Nice to see your buddies dressed up for the occasion :-)
