Hi,
I had a little unpleasant surprise this winter, after winter storage.
Water must have been stuck in my keel behind the centreboard slot, froze and expanded, causing a crack on both sides.
I took a drill and made a hole through, and I don't understand what's in the middle. After I went through the outer fibreglass layer, the drill just went all the way in.
The only residue coming out was fiberglass - like in colour (white transparent) soaking wet and with sand-like strength. It looks more like a cavity than a place filled with something. .
Does anyone know how the keel is constructed and what I'm expected to find in there? See the picture for clarification.
Also, Any idea what's the best way to get in? I'm thinking of cutting a window on the side and filling it with... what?
Thank you
