elan 295

hi, has anyone any knowledge of keel problems with these boats, for example being out of line or needing additional reinforcement to the hull. Possibly a problem to the type as a whole or maybe just an isolated case.
Appreciate any response. Cheers.

Elan 333 No problem.
Apart from trying to undermine the enjoyment of these slippery yachts what are you referring to?

Re: Elan 295 keel concerns

Hmmm - I have heard of an example the keel not being vertical, and of what sound like stainless steel shims being found in the hull/keel joint - what makes you ask?

Another new user casting nasturtiums, and a second one reinforcing them. Is there a rodent-like odour around?

Ah! come on lads, I've seen better scripts than that in junior school plays. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
