I was just informed by Jenn Andre of Moorings that our Leopard 40 was damaged when grounded on charter earlier this month.

The keels were extensively damaged, there is some damage to one of the rudders and the surveyor noted numerous cracks and bonding failures in the bilges. :-(

We were slated to be aboard in about 10 days, boat will obviously not be ready for our use. Replacement keels are on long backorder so they are proposing making up stub keels on site by using another boat's keels as a mold.

I have not yet responded. Has anyone gone through this process and would like to give any advice?

Thanks.
