A replacement keel fin was designed an cast for a MaxFun 35, the original welded fin was corroded and did not pass safety inspection and was written off. To prevent this problem in the future it was decided to replace the fin with a solid cast iron one, this was also the most economically solution. This new fin is slightly heavier but as the boat was a bit low on stability this was more of a bonus than a disadvantage. The keel was produced and supplied by Tripple A Yachting who have the mould in store might any other MaxFun 35 owner also need their keelfin replaced.
