[Public-list] Re: crack leak at the keel

[Henry Hilliard]

Todd,

   I will keep you informed when I get into my tank
issue this fall. Right now I'm pushing to get into the
water for a late season so I'm  resisting any
distraction from that goal unless critical.  
   I would be interested in checking out your website
and I could post pictures on my "webshots community
page"  :http://community.webshots.com/user/maceleste
this fall where there are now a few pix of "Celeste"
and her little sister "Caprice".
   Where do you  hail from and sail?

Henry

Henry,

Do you have access to the inside of your watertank. 
If so, do you have 
a
series of cracks moving up the bottom seam?  I am
still curious to know
whether some of your leaking was coming from your
water tank or not.  
If the
tank was leaking, it would explain the amount of
substance coming from 
your
hull.  I had not heard that fiberglass was considered
a pourous 
material
before George mentioned it - so I will have to give
that some thought 
before
I make a conclusion on Strathgowan.  However, in my
case, I am still 
leaning
toward the problem being a watertank leak.  Otherwise,
it would seem to 
me
that we all would have leaking hulls during haulout
time especially 
where
ever we had managed to damage the gelcoat.  (We all
seem to hit the 
ground
at one time or another - don't we?)  Keep us informed
as you decide how 
to
repair the problem.

Todd

P.S. I will try to post some pictures of the inside of
my watertank to 
my
website in the next couple of days.
