Hi all,
Hope everyone's staying safe and healthy. I've got a '72 V222 with the fiberglass-wrapped keel that seems to be generally in pretty good shape, but for the second time this summer I'll be grinding out and repairing a crack that has developed and is seeping(?) rust.
I haven't had it in the water for almost a full year, and even then it's been exclusively a trailer sailer. Are there any likely areas where water typically intrudes on these? Rainwater trickling down the cable? Can I keep putting out these "small fires" or is it indicative of a bigger problem? I do have an endoscope to inspect some of these areas but haven't seen anything obvious.
