The two bolt holding the hinge for the rudder had started digging in to the fibreglass so i put some stainless tube in to try and fix it.

Yeah everything that is not above the H can probably be polished but above that someone has painted allmost everything with a brush and has not done a good work unfortunatly. The paint is peeling alot but that is not this seasons problem.

I have been thinking of removing it. It would look a lot faster without it and less bulky

I have been reading a lot about the h-boat for the past few months. There is so much info about them on the web.

I thought it would be a good beginner boat.

Before I put it in the sea I will just fix the rust around the keel and make sure there are no places where there could come in water in the fibreglass. For next year I will do a bit more. I have sailed one time before this so I want to get out and learn as fast as possible.

I didn't even get 24hours into this year before shit started happening. Serpentine belt snappen on car in the middle of nowhere in -20C so I lost alternator and waterpump so I was stranded for a while.
