Stripping that keel was a pain in the back neck and rear!
Wire brush and even grinding could not get off all the 30yrs of paint. I ended up sealing it with a rust blocker from rustoleum that was marine grade. Gross stuff.
Then fairing it with the interlux expensive (i still feel the pain) fairing compound.
I used 5200 at the seam of fiber and iron prior to fairing after cleaning up the seam with 60grit first.
I think its good for at least a few years now.
Mast Ive never taken down yet as they move her around the yard with it up. If we move Ill get a new trailer or redo the original pne bc it is not road worthy or registered currently - basically just a winter stand currently so we’ll be cruisin the hudson.
I hear wallenwaupack is beautiful - Clear water would be nice after sailing above the mirky estuary waters of thr hudson
