I have the same issue on “Ronin”. I’m 99.99% certain that the stud is not attached to the keel. It certainly isn’t on my model when I removed my keel. Were it attached to the keel there would be a series of list posts advising owners on how to unhook it. In my 20 years on this list I haven’t seen any advice on that.
I think that you are going to find that like my stud, it was simply glassed into the stringer. Easy to do in the build process but obviously not advantageous over time, especially in a damp environment and constant cyclic loads. I have a set of hand drawings from a rig designer buddy on building a “U” shaped stainless steel bridge that can be simply attached to either side of the stringer with plain old S.S. lag bolts. This is most likely the way that I will go when I put the mast back in the boat. Good luck with your repair.
