Greetings;

I have a 1986 Catalina 22 with a fixed keel. While prepping the hull I
noticed small cracks that go horizontally about 8" - 10" on either side of
the front of the keel. It appears that most of it sanded out but I'm kind
of curious whether anyone else has seen similar cracks and whether it
something to be concerned about.

Thanks in advance for any insights.

Henk,

A good place to pose your question would be the forum at CatalinaDirect =
or
the C22 mailing list that you can subscribe to at Sailnet.

Good luck,

I agree with LB, send an email to

It's the best wealth of c22 there is in one place.
