yvesvidal Posted May 23 #421 Posted May 23 Nice recovery Kevin. Yes, in a few months/years, it will all look the same. Yves
SaltyScot Posted May 23 #422 Posted May 23 I agree, that does look good, Kevin. It was fortunate that you were able to unhinge the rudder so that you could reach around the keel stem with that tape. Nice save.
