Yes
Reminds me of the early Westerly GK29s. I knew someone whose keel came into the saloon when he dried the boat out alongside. No crane involved. Westerly beefed them up later on but even 10 years after mine was built I was advised to increase the GRP thickness. These things can happen to any manufacturer but it would seem better for their image to settle up straight away rather than to have the case argued through the forums. Fortunately for Westerly, forums didn't exist then. Nice contrast with Starlight recent bad experience, where the manufacturer seems to have accepted responsibility without question.

Eh?

Thought the problem was that Starlight had gone belly up and there was no left to carry the can except the owners.

Re: Starlight hulls
I thought Bowman Yachts - who were making the Starlight35's - went bust before they fixed any of the hulls. The hulls are being replaced by another boat builder - but I think it is at full cost to the owners.

I think there's a legal action going on against the hull moulders.

Re: Better keep quiet then
in contrast to the above, i once saw an almost new island packet that had been dropped out of the travellift slings by an east coast marina. the fall was more than a foot onto hard concrete. surprisingly, the damage was limited to the (extensive) steel fabrication that joined rudder to keel. spoke well for IP if not the marina

Well just shows you why Madman replaced his keel with a concrete one!

Re The IP

A friend's Westerly slipped in the slings at Puerto Banus, Marbella last year and fell a foot onto the hard with no damage.

Curious
Although I'm not fond of AWB's it's not for reasons of their construction. Almost every yacht ever built will sit on its keel without doing damage. I'm sure Bavaria's are parked on their keels at the factory, are road-transported around the world on the keels, are winter-stored in their thousands on their keels. This particular boat, one suspects, was either a rogue in the build sense, or the crane/hoist driver dropped it (it happens). One other possibility - it was sailed hard onto the bricks, which is what did the damage, but which was only discovered when she was lifted. Remember On-y-Va?
