8. Keel-to-Hull Joints

   
Description of Application
The joint between keel and hull is subjected to very high stresses, particularly when a boat is under sail or if it runs aground.

This critical joint must be designed and executed with great care to withstand these stresses.

The joint between keel and hull is particularly prone to leaks, which manifest themselves in the form of rust streaking and staining on the keel when the boat is removed from the water.

Important:
Please refer to the current Sika Technical Data Sheets and Safety Data Sheets obtainable through your local Sika company
