Happy New Year,
I have an Lm28 twin keeler and looking to use the drying out grid in our Harbour to check anodes and anti-fouling, the grid is angled upwards, not sure how much but could be around 5-10 degrees,
my concern is if the center of balance is too much to stern could this damage the rudder with the extra weight on it when dried out, I've seen other twin keeler dried out at an angle (fore/ aft), with no issues but they had a skeg mounted rudder with the skeg base being lower than the rudder which is not the same for the LM with the rudder base being below the skeg.
Any comments/ info would be most welcome,
Thanks
