Wish I had a picture.. but it is the complete circumference of where the led 
keel buts up against the fibreglass hull - there is a clear crack all around, 
but as I said, it does not go very deep. It is the only boat in the yard 
exhibiting this (but then most of the boats in the yard are traditional 
cruising boats). 

 

Not sure where you mean by 'where the hull turns into the stub'.

 

Thanks,

Peter

Peter, are you talking keel joint (fiberglass keel stub joint to lead keel) or 
where the hull turns into the stub?  I have been fighting the latter for a 
couple of years and it is a much bigger deal than the former.  It looks like 
we'll need more surgery this winter.

There is a clear demarcation where the keel meets the hull. it does not go 
deep, and there certainly is no leaking of water into the boat. Some of the 
folks in the yard seem to think that there is a problem. However, I have had 
others suggest that I simply put some Sikaflex or 5200 on it and paint over it.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
