Sad thing was old...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Which particular part of the cruising community would that be? 50% of the .001% of the cruising community that have been following this thread?

Rigging over 10 years old?... sorry...

Keel bolts not...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Looking at that chart with its green mark on the stbd side of the dredged cut I would be asking a few questions of the port authority. If entering in daylight or dark my normal reaction would be to...
