Leason Keel replacement




Most recently we've been fitting a new keel to the large Danish cotter 'Leason'. Built in 1932 with a Beech keel, her time had come for replacement. The new one is a beautiful lump of purpleheart and will give her a new lease of life. The hull was lifted and carefully supported whilst the old rotten keel was removed. Good luck to her owners Ben and Phoebe, who hope to return her to sail during her ongoing restoration
