Keel/Hull Crack on Splash

My understanding that only one type of JB weld is okay for boat hulls. Hope you picked that one!

…when you can’t sail your boat nothing to do but clean it and redo the teak.

The teak looks very nice!

I am looking for a yard in New Bedford, MA to repair keel damage. Having problems finding a yard to fix keel.
I hit a rock and keel got twisted. I have called 15 different yards so far. Does anyone have a place that can reset keel bolts?

Ouch.

Unfortunately, I have experience with this. Yards that will work on keels in the area are few and far between - these are the people you want to contact, they are the best and install the keels on new JBoats:
