Anybody Still Here!? Dockrell 22 info sharing.

[Chrisember]

I’ve been looking at this site for some time but there doesn’t seem to be much activity. I acquired an old Dockrell 22 last year that was slowly rotting away. I’m trying to get her seaworthy again and was hoping some fellow Dockrell 22 owners out there might be able to give me some advice on a few points. Thanks.

I have D22 No33 the biggest problem has been the lifting keel, the case can get jammed with mud, and the bolt can shear resulting in the loss of board. If not cleated up when on mooring and allowed to drop sideways current can snap it off! I am now on my 4th board!
Otherwise a good seaworthy boat.

What is your lifting keel made of ?
