Catalina 25 swing keel 1986. There is a beam on the inside of the boat which transfers force down from the mast to the lower hull. I'm not sure what it's called but it has delaminated from the fiberglass on a boat which was donated to our club. There

Thanks Mark,
I'll have to go look again. It seem as though someone had glassed in the compression post for some reason. I'll look for any evidence that it has moved.
