The strength of the keel looks alot more impressive in person. The glass is about an inch thick at the bottom. I hit some coral and crunched along the top for about ten minutes until I was blown off the other side. She was leaking about 2 gallons an hour. As there were no haul out facilities at Rum Cay in the Bahamas, I slapped on a tube of Boatlife Lifeseal underwater and it stuck enough to cut the leak to about 1 quart a day.
That was four months ago and I finally hauled her out this week.
BTW, the lead is surrounded in balsa about 1\2" thick between the lead and the glasswork.
Stay well,
Barry
