metalstructur within the Skegg?
Posted: Sun Jun 10, 2018 9:10 pm
Hello to the forum-members,
due too an unsuitabel craddle and lack of expirience from my part, my finkeel Sabre has slipped from the hardstanding during a wintergale.
Fortunataly there were little visible damages, but as I realised later on, rudder and skeg have been bend to bow-direction about 15mm. I was able too align the rudderaxis, however, the skegg seemed to have a very solid inner structure, mayby from metal. I concluded this from the oval shaped plate, witch could bee seen underneath the cockpit. In adition I used a metal-detector from a electrician. The divice gave a signal when it was slid along the frontedge of the skeg, and the oval plate gave a significant signal too. Actually the bearing at tip of the skeg is 15 mm out of line in correlation to the bearing-pipe within the hull.
Do have anyone access to a drawing witch shows a metalstrukture and dimensions within the skeg? Althoug I´m not a member of the owners association, as I live in Germany, I would would be realy thankfull, if you could help me. In advance "thanks a lot" for an answer, Christian.
