Keel Re-works and/or Removal
The process of removing a keel is as follows:
- Make a cradle for keel and remove upon completion
- Supply a belly cradle for the hull to sit in with no keel.
- Remove keel bolts (These will be checked for leaking and corrosion)
- Lift boat off keel (This is not always a straight forward job and can be time consuming)
- Any cracking found will be repaired/welded.
- All old bedding from hull landing to be removed.
- If required supply new keel bolts and plates (The cost of these is dependent of the size required)
- Re-fit keel, plates and bolts
- Fill and fair keel
- Sand keel
- Epoxy Keel
- Prime and antifoul
We carryout this type or repair/replacement quite frequently and have seen and overcome most issue that can arise when working with keels, please see below a keel replacement carried out on a feeling yacht or click on the links for more keel projects.
