Hi
I have found a small hole the size of a b pencil in the sikofelx joint between the keel and the hull and it weeps.The boat has been on the hard now for a good two weeks.I am putting up some pics.Please feel free to comment on this and what should I be doing or looking for. Happy sailing Duncan

year I will have wiewed 15 years of good advice on myhanse.com, and I
can tell all new members, that almost all possible questions can find an

This is quite a common thing with Hanse Yachts. I would clean the cavity with a high-pressure washer, and seal the hole. Over the years I have used Hammerite metal paint (preventing rust) to combat small places with rust on the iron part of the keel.
