Another newbe question... I've been reading the mail and looking at my 15.
Inspected my keel today and found the slot had been welded closed... Can't
galvanize. Plan b... There was a little rust which sanded off easily.
I'll be at West Marine tomorrow in San Diego and I can pick up some paint,
but, would good old Rustoleum work on the keel?
On another topic, my 2 cents. Mainsail covers from West Marine are
"adjustable" using velcro. After about a year of exposure the velcro
flakes off..
