Romany 162 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I've recently discovered an issue with a concrete mooring block versus keel on my yacht and needless to say the block won. Without going into the how and where, should I be worried and do a claim against the responsible parties insurance or do I just take to the damage with a hammer and panel beat it? I am unsure whether the keel is glass sheathed or not. . The boat is only 40 years old so I guess it could be sheathed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin McCready 83 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Where are you? In Auckland the harbour master asks for boat dimensions then says yeah or nay to boat on that mooring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romany 162 Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Kevin - thanks, but I know that. I'm not going into the whys and hows, lets just say it was not an issue when I first took the mooring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marinheiro 352 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hi Romany, you will have a bolted on lead keel, highly unlikely it is glassed, no point. Some epoxy bog should fix the keel problem, depending on how hard you hit it may be worth checking the keel floors to make sure there was no movement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romany 162 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 thanks - that seems to be the opinion most people have too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
