Casting and Pouring
For many years we have supplied National and Worldwide customers with high-quality State of the art Keels incorporating leading-edge technology to produce Keels for many of Australia’s and the Worlds leading Yachtsmen.
We have supplied keels to many Sydney to Hobart winners and place getters as well as high-performance yachts like Wild Oats, Skandia, Nicorette, Leopard of london, Brindabella, Wild Joe Rager, Ragamuffin and this selection is only a few.
The process of casting a keel is a complex process and there are many steps that need to be taken before we can provide an accurate quote for your needs. To help with this process we have provided some information on the steps that will need to be taken before and during the casting process.
