keel infiltration Dear Swan Lovers
My swan 38 is now on dry dock for winter. Some water is getting out from the keel (small drops). There is no visible cracks between keel and hull. Wherebdoes the infiltration come from ? How to proceed to eleminate this ? Many thanks in advance for your help. ![]() ![]() |

Hi Serge, I am by no means an expert (luckily) and others might be better placed to answer but this looks a bit like (the early signs of) osmosis to me ...? Cheers Stefan Kairos - 57/043

Hi, is there not, as in others like 57, some places in the keel to add ballast in front or rear of the keel to adjust the boat balance ? it looks like the front one... Professor Lars can tell for sure if it is... Algol (57 #007) |

Dear all Also the 38 has keel pockets, a round one forward, and an oval one aft, visible on SERGE's photo.
According to the records both pockets are filled from 022 onwards, and it needs to be checked if the pockets are filled, but the contours visible.
Kind regards
Lars
