    Re: Keel repair on RL28
    Have just done some work on mine. Last year after cleaning I coverd it with 2 coats of a sealer given to me by the owner of a steel yacht who used it on most of his boat. It held up well but some areas wee gone. This time I removed some rust with a wire brush and after a wash applied 4 coats of Epoxy Primer and then 2 coats anti foul. Scraped a little off when raising and lowering the keel in the yard but it moved ok. Hope this helps a bit.
