Hi,
New Contessa 26 owner, new to the sailing community and new to the forum. Sorry about the brief intro but,
I was scraping paint of the underside yesterday in preparation for anti foul paint when I pulled of an approx. 4" wide copper strip from the keel. It was at one time nailed with copper nails and glued. Anybody any idea why it is there? I am guessing it is for grounding.
