RL28 Keel on Eclipse
Hi, have had our keel jammed in the casing and on removal we have discovered "heaps" of rust. It was sent to be sandblasted prior to re-coating, however the sandblasting people have indicated that in their opinion it is beyond recovery. The original foundry, Farnell and Thomas, appears to be long gone. Has any other RL28 owner had the same Problem and if so how did you either manufacture a new keel or repair the old one?
