Improper keel support during a haul-out caused a one-centimeter hull compression and delamination on an Open 66.0:10 The damage occurred when the yard failed to follow the seating plan, leaving the keel unsupported in a pit.1:33 To repair the hull, the crew grinds away the anti-fouling primer to expose the Kevlar layer, taking care not to cut the fibers.4:12 They use a square and ruler to map the depth of the depression, then apply a seven-layer carbon fiber reinforcement—alternating between unidirectional and 45-degree cloths—to restore structural rigidity.8:40 The lamination process utilizes a vacuum bag to ensure a tight bond and remove excess resin, a necessary step given the humid, rainy conditions at the yard.9:21 The repair concludes with wet sanding, filling, and priming the affected area and the rudder.5:52 The reinforced section is now stronger than the original hull structure.21:27
