[Public-list] Hull drying

[Michael Taylor]

Hi all,

We are presently on the hard stand waiting for the
keel to dry out.  There are spots along the bottom of
the keel where there is fibreglass damage. 
Addtitionally there are drips coming out of the holes
drilled and tapped for a new rudder shoe.  

I,m concerned about how long the keel is taking to
dry.  Ive been waiting a week and I have to put the
boat back in the water before it has properly dried. 
In the fall I'll get the boat out again and let it
stand.

My question is whether others have had this problem. 
What sort of damage might be caused from water trapped
in the fibreglass?  How long might it take to dry?

Thanks 

Mick #231
