fairing on wing keel

Paul Kirshen All Messages By This Member #102876 Hi - the wing keel on my 1995 Sabre 362 has a lot of flaking paint on it and what may be older fairing material - or just old layers of paint. does anyone know if the wings were originally faired when first constructed ?? ? Nice the days in the NE are getting warmer.. ? Tx Paul Kirshen Pegasus, Sabre 362 Concord/Padanaram MA ?
David Lochner All Messages By This Member #102877 开云体育 Most cast lead keels are faired because the castings are rough. When I repaired a section of my keel, I wasn’t the first one there. The repair was necessary because some of the casting sand had become embedded in the lead. It got wet and eventually bulged out a thin section of the lead. I cleaned it out and then faired it.?

Allison Lehman All Messages By This Member #102879 开云体育 When I hauled in 2015 in Mexico, the bottom paint and epoxy wre flaking in a few places so we decided to do the “patch” process instead of a full strip and re-epoxying. ?What we found were voids in the casting. ?One was large and deep. They were easily filled and faired and then epoxied and painted. Allison Lehman Swiftsure Yachts allison@...

Bob Fields All Messages By This Member #102882 Roger strip keel to bare lead. Clean metal with a wire brush on a drill or grinder. ?Get any oxidation off. Immediately roll on epoxy resin with no filler. Wire brush the keel and resin. Let it cure then fair with an epoxy based fairing compound. Give it a lightening before fairing. I did our ?S42 14 years ago and have had no failures.? Cheers! ? Bob Viitesse Lake Ontario
Bob Fields All Messages By This Member #102883 “Light sanding”. I think lightening is a bit drastic.?
David Lochner All Messages By This Member #102884 开云体育 No, no, he’s correct. It is necessary to have a high voltage and current applied to the keel and fresh epoxy that helps fuse the epoxy to the lead. Is it April yet? ?
