i would like to know if anyone has ever encountered this. It seems my boat has settled after being moved by a crane. it was sitting on a metal cradle when lifted and the strapes went on the outside of the cradle. now the problem.
the boat settled 3 to 4 inches below the backbone,in the center of the boat. the garboard plank on both sides of the keel has seperated and dropped. both bow and stern still seems tight. the boat is a motor sailor and is 34 feet 10 foot beam. it is oak planked and been out of the water for seven years. i would like to know how people have fixed this and the problems they have found.
all of the other planks are still very tight.
