Ran aground this weekend and broke my swing keel in half on my 1982 22 foot Hunter sailboat. Any suggestions on where I could purchase a new one or maybe a used one? Thanks in advance. Brent Boulet

Were you able to recover the broken piece?

If you did, then you can repair the thing. All you need is a right angle grinder, some 25 grit disks, a couple of quarts of resin and five pounds of glass cloth and chopped strand mat.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the info. Would still like to look for a new one. If I have no luck with that, I'll try to repair mine. I was able to retrieve the broken piece. It broke off at the pivot point with a clean break.

Foss foam in FL.

They are the OEM manufactures of the centerboard. I believe this subject has come up before. If you check the archives, you will find more info than you ever will need to know.

Broken Swing Keel

Have you checked IdaSailor.com? They make aftermarket rudders maybe they do keels also.
