Hello Brad, All of your reasoning and approach sounds correct to me. I don't think a bit of brass in the lead would cause and future corrosion problems. Are you doing all this work yourself? You are a brave man. Make sure you wear a good fitting respirator while working with the fiberglass and epoxy. I have never had any sticking swing keel issues with my M23, however, I did develop a slow leak which I believe originated at the keel hinge pin. I had my boatyard do the job which required removing the 360 lb keel. Much too big of a project for me. Good luck (and prayers), keep us all posted as to your progress.

Nice M-15 in Phoenix - FS
by GILASAILR＠aol.com 13 Nov '15

13 Nov '15

Came across this on kragslizt : A link to a really nice clean boat I had as inventory - was one of my company's Boat Show boats in 1990 (kept it 'out of inventory' until the family grew too large to sail it - then sold it to 'first owner') Only commenting because it is a 'special one' and appears to have been well stored. Color selection look familiar??? NFIW - just passing along a link... (PaintBoy now has the matching 7-11 from same Boat Show - just as nice heh Stan?!) http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/boa/5306921240.html GO photo of boats at Phoenix International Boat Show - (Ed Greenband) 'far left is PaintBoy's new to him 7-11 and far right is boat on Craigslist when new. All sailboats visible was our display for 1990 - it was the largest sail display ever at the Phoenix Boat show show.'

M 23 Keel ballast replacement
by Todd Bradley 11 Nov '15

11 Nov '15

Well, it looks like I'm going to embark on the removal and replacement of the steel ballast in my M 23's Keel. I know I won't be the first one who has embarked on this adventure. I plan on following Sean Mulligan's photo journal of his ballast replacement. I'm going to follow his lead (thanks Shawn, don't know what I would do without your photos and written description! ) and plan on doing the following: get the boat on jack stands, cut "Windows" into the side of the keel, remove the old steel punching's, replace approximately with 1200 pounds of lead in layers (each layer encased in polyester resin), seal the whole thing back up again. What I would like to ask the group and particularly anybody else that has performed this task.... Is there any "lessons learned" you might change that would improve this process or outcome? I know from Shawn's photos and documentation that he ended up creating a lead ingots that he stood on end in order to fill the upper portion of the keel. Would it make sense to cut the windows a little higher in order to the get the lead up to a higher level? Or might this compromise the structural integrity of the keel? Shawn used pieces of landscape Bender board to create temporary dams as he built up the lead in layers. I was contemplating if it might make sense to use layers of wetted fiberglass applied on the inside of the keel to help create the dam and also adding some structural integrity back. Does anybody think this has any value or would it be just a waste of time? I found a relatively inexpensive source for the lead at a shooting range. They will sell me the reclaimed lead that has been screened. It has small bits of brass from the bullet jackets. I don't think this will create too much of a problem especially when the lead is encased in polyester resin? I am thinking about buying about thousand pounds of the reclaimed ammunition and also using some of the lead shot to sprinkle in as I go to make sure everything packs in nicely. My sailboat stands arrive in about a week. I have already spoken to the crane guy and plan on having him lift the boat so I can place the stands. Then the fun can begin ;) any advice or prayers are appreciated! Todd Bradley M-23 #86

Lenny and Bruce, I'll chime in for the list idea. Got my M23 in 2001. I now have her in Washburn, WI to sail Lake Superior. My friend Chef Theo moved his from Minn to Philly around 3 years ago. There are a few more in Mn and WI. Mr. Bones ____________________________________________________________ Fast, Secure, NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband.

Bruce, You can put me on your list if you like. Im in Phx and have owned my M-23 for 15 years. I even get to sail it once in a while. 😎 Lenny Smith > On Nov 10, 2015, at 12:05 AM, Bruce Ward <northwave(a)telus.net> wrote: > > Todd, when I bought Clarity, Jeff had done a center board removal, fair and paint works etc. There was no apparent issues with the ballast and nothing has shown up in the first two seasons although I have since purchase only sailed in fresh water. Be nice to keep abreast of your progress and all of the 23's . It would be nice to have email lists of the owners and it might already be available but I forget how to extract the info. > > > Sent from my iPad
