My Vega sits in the desert waiting for me to work on her. I have <br />
three questions that the group may be able to help me with. The first <br />
concerns hairline cracks in the keel that seem to leaked rusty <br />
colored water. My surveyor suggested that I drill holes in the keel <br />
to let any water contained there drip out before filling in the <br />
cracks as recently described by the group. My question is - where <br />
abouts should I drill these holes and how long do you think it would <br />
take for the spaces in the keel to dry out prior to my filling in <br />
holes and cracks. Second question concerns the need to buy some new <br />
wrenches etc. Do I need metric? Third questionis about wood. <br />
Obviously teak is the preferred wood for exterior projects but it is <br />
very expensive. Are there any other less expensive woods that are <br />
suitable for exterior use and what woods are best for interior <br />
upgrades? I appreciate all of the useful information that I <br />
obtain from the site.<br />
