    Nube Question: Water Through Swing Keel Opening?

    I'd like to hear about the structure in this area of the 14.2 as well. I went out over the weekend on Lake Lanier and took on 12-15 gallons of water. A post-trip inspection revealed no cracks or holes on the hull.

    Locating the hull number and correct rigging replacements.

    The two previous images show the scribed transom - starboard side - and the builder's plate on the inside of a "mod 2."

    Straightening a bent mast

    Straightening a bent mast
