When the boatyard recently moved SV Oceandrifter, the aft edge of the
keel collided with obstacle, nicking the
paint and causing a pinhole leak!
About 400 litres of
diesel drained out (and was collected)
This was perhaps a happy
accident - the
boat is new to me and I was still working on repairing the 26 holes in the
steel hull and
deck. The
boat, a Chevrier 36, is extremely well constructed with galvanized
steel decks and
stainless steel cockpit, as well as heavy winches and a 60 HP
Perkins.
I'm making a series of videos showing the damage, investigation,
repairs and what's been learned.
