Reply To: MK 1 Keels

Hi Don,

I have a Mk1. I fitted two sacificial Iroko wooden keels 50mm deep fixed with adhesive of the Sikaflex type. I then found out that my previous owner had already fitted 115mm wooden keels, but then he fibre-glassed them in, which negated the fact that they were sacrificial. So I have ended up with 165mm additional draft. At least the extra weight is in the right place – low down on the bottom of the boat.

Regards Martin
