YM Senior
Posted: Tue January 29th, 2008, 8:18 pm
I have inherited a YM Senior which has been stored in an open barn for 15 years.
My retirement project is to restore and sail it on the Medway, as dinghy sailing is becoming hard work for a whole day.
I am building a covered leanto in my garden to be able to work under cover.
I am lifting boat next month to transport home. During lift I want to drop keel for rework.
Boat has a fixed cast iron ? keel with 4 rods with nuts into cabin sole.
3 of the nuts have been removed but the 4th just rotates, I have CD of Senior drawings but cannot work out how the keel rods are secured into keel, does anyone know.
Also when I drop boat will it be ok to sit on the two side bilge keels as I intend to have 2 foot off ground at bilge keels for working underneath.
