oh, yes, I should have mentioned that of course. It will indeed have
zinks - if for nothing else, then just to make sure that the swingkeel
won't come into contact with other metals.

The water is sal****er, mostly the baltic sea etc. (danish waters,
swedish skerry etc.).

Ron, that sounds really poisonous? I mean as in "pollution"?

The hull itself is clear mahogany/epoxy, with 3 coats of epifanes, and
when I'm done, I will try polishing the entire thing, and not least the
bottom, with anhydrous lanolin, at least for a couple of years (manual
scrubbing).


Geoffrey,

Epoxying it sounds good, since it's not superpoisonous. do you guys
think that covering it with lanolin on top of the epoxy would help it a
little more?



I am actually thinking of foregoing galvannising altogether, simply
because I have had some bad experiences with galvanised iron. I'm still
not sure, but I will certainly install zinks on the boat, just as an
extra safety, so to speak.


Sincerely,

Andre
