Re-uniting a keel and hull is tricky (solo sailor)
September 27, 2021 by Pacific Solo | Language: EN Play Time: 00:00:12:15 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Sister ships, Wahine and Distant Dreamer, have keel work projects going on side by side. Wahine, my boat, a Gib Sea 402 is having to redo a repair I did two years ago as well as having the keel bolts inspected. Distant Dreamer, a Columbia 43 and a Transpac winner in her class, had her keel bolts replaced, and it is time to reunite Distant Dreamer with her keel. All this after a 1200 KM solo drive from Tokyo! I find it all invigorating though.
Oh and along the way I drop my phone while climbing the mast . . arrgghhhh
Both boats are members have the TSPS ( Tokyo Sail and Power Squadron https://tspsjapan.org/ ) and coincidentally are in Oita Marina at the same time, 800 nautical miles from our home ports in Tokyo Bay.
