I have a H310 with a winged shoal keel. The previous owner must have run it aground or bounced off a sand bar so one of the wings is bent up at the end and curled a little. I left it alone when I bought and moved the boat 18 years ago or other times when bottom jobs were done. However, my boat has been pulled out until the lake level recovers (if ever). So I have time to try and straighten it. My first thought is just leave it alone as it doesn't seem to hurt performance. But my ADHD goes nuts every time I go by the boat now. Thoughts? Try to fix it and best practice for that. Or just leave it alone?

My OCD just kicked in
.I would want to fix that keel too. However, after 18 years of satisfying performance, it would be placed near the bottom of my to-do list. Meaning, I'd have to fix everything else around my boat, house, cars, job, gardens, and bees before I got to it.
As far as best practices...
The bottom aft corner of my sail is flying loose.

We prefer to call it by its proper term ............. CDO. Everything must, must, must, be in order. There can be no exceptions, never, ever, ever.My OCD just kicked in
