Whiling away the hours of the third New England Nor'easter in 12 days..
I purchased a Pearson 10M a couple weeks ago and promptly got sick. This usually happens to my wife when I do something like this, go figure.
At any rate, I noticed the keel boats are encapsulated in clear epoxy a couple of inches deep at least.
I had never seen this before and am wondering if this some sort of acceptable repair. I purchased the boat from a friend who sailed for the past six years without problem.
Has anyone else seen this? Is it a typical repair or some sort of ill-planned Hail Mary by previous owner. The boat suffered a grounding in the fall, but the keel joint appears solid and tight except for a small section at the bow.
The fiberglass tab at the stern of the keel is another matter, but that's a topic for another time.
Thanks for the information.
