Anyone have pictures of j92 keel off the boat?

[roch...@gmail.com]

All,

I found some issues with out keel bolts on Zaff recently, upon further investigation, we need to replace a few of them.  Local options are not great, i've gotten estimates for around $5k US per bolt.  we need to do at least 2, likely 4.

The search for something better has led me to a surprising conclusion, that making a new keel might be the more economical option.   The problem with this option is that the drawings for the keel don't have much detail regarding the interface between the boat/sump and keel.   A picture would help clarify what is down there.

Alternatively, does anyone know of a wrecked j92 sitting rotting somewhere that might want to be a donor keel for this project?

thanks, and check your keel bolts!

Tim- I don't, but interested in what got you to this point.  What got you looking?  How did you determine it?  Which ones? (Probably the deep ones in the bilge I imagine).

I looked due to an inspection requirement for a race I am doing.  You are correct that the bolts in question are the ones in the bilge, specifically the second and third from the front.  There was a bilge pump host blocking view of those that had to move when I inspected them.  There was significant damage to the bolts that were hidden. All the others looked pretty good.

Just out of curiosity, do you have photos of the damage?
