70's Seafari keel area hull thickness
was cleaning out the cabin in the 20' Seafari yesterday and noticed something I wasn't sure of.
I was looking in the forward compartment where the front part of the keel can be seen. Two things concerned me."First", was the thickness of the lamination in that area.The sun was at a low angle,and shining on to the bow and forward keel area. I could see light coming thru the glass(uh oh)in the bow running a bit above the standing waterline and running maybe a foot or so back along the very forward area of the keel. "Second was that about a foot and a half of the keel wasn't perfectly centered into the v of the hull.It veered of to the port side,although not horribly off,is isn't centered. I looked over the bottom of the hull and keel area extremely close,and it seems to be in perfect condition.The hull was never painted,and the original gelcoat is in perfect condition,especially considering the age. I was thinking of laying up a few layers of 1708 on the inside onto the the keel and tabbed on to the hull.Also laying up a few layers of the same on to the hull where the keel ends and up towards the bow. I could use some help from you Seafari gurus so Any thoughts,comments or recommendations are welcomed.
