I just discovered this site on 12/21/04. I am doing a significant overhaul to my 1980 Cal 25 Mk II. I'm the second owner and have had it since 1984. In the autumn of 2003, it was noted that the keel was "loose" or "wobbly" swinging an inch or more side to side in the sling. I sailed again all summer in 2004 and it didn't fall off! I am looking for details as to how this keel is attached to the hull (there are no bolts that I can see)and the overall construction of same. I have heard from many that this is "common" for Cal's to have this "swinging keel", but I'm not comfortable with the whole idea. No one seems (so far) seems to have an acceptable solution or solid advice. Can anyone help?
