Hello everyone new here, I am new to everything about sailing and sail boats, I went to inspect a 1987 Catalina 22 yesterday. The owner actually took me out for a sail with it. Thank goodness for this forum , I was able to with the knowledge I have received from this forum find potential problems, The said in the beginning that there is leak under the table where the lock for keel is located, I have read ,that should be easy fix, I was somewhat comfortable with that , But after returning to the dock and attempting to load back on trailer,
I noticed the keel guide on the trailer was bent way to one side.
This almost 1/2 inch steel that holds the 4x4 ,
So if the keel hit it so hard to bend this steel over , could the keel trunk be damaged? Should I run away from this boat ?
Thanks for any feed back
