Thanks Sean, I also found it interesting that the front of the centerboard slot had received some obvious damage and looked to be in rough shape. Similar to what you had found. I hope I sealed the joint before any water got in the cavity. I have been tempted to drill some exploratory holes in the ballast area but have been fighting the urge!

Hey Robin...Holy cow! Those pictures bring back memories! Interesting some of the similarities like the line of demarcation on the keel where it always stays in the slot, and the fact that you also had a seem to fill at the keel trunk/hull joint. Keep up the good work and keep posting photos!
