Production Boat Keel Matrix Inspection

Keel Failure on sailboats is a scary thought. Inspecting the keel matrix of a production style sailboat is a critical step in your boat maintenance checklist. Some boats that have run aground lose their keel or suffer keel damage that compromises the keel matrix inside the boat. Today we discuss a Hanse sailboat from sailing channel Aurora but also reference Beneteau, Jeanneau, Hunter, and Catalina keels to help you inspect your sailboat for damage.
