We have a Jacobo 12 m 1978 also had to have some of the keel cut out and replaced. Have you had much interest in her? Do you have any pics of the wood that you replaced finished?

Is that the bottom of the keel as it looks quite thin. Mine are 20mm thick along the bottom of the keels.
Everything else is 5mm thick.
I'd replaced about 1/3rd of the aft cabin ceiling but the bit I replaced in the saloon you can just see on the right of this pic. This was before it got stained and varnished.

Yes noticed how thick your keel was in the photos, ours are only 5-6 mm thick hence the corrosion and a large bent in the front of the keel from a rock. Yours looks like a very well built boat by the look of it. Fairly common for the teak deck to go if left in the weather unfortunately.
Did you do the wood yourself we have some rot round some of ours do to water leaks the previous owner tried to stop with mastic

She was built to be able to sit on her keels if in a harbour when the tide went out. She never did as only went across the channel twice and lived the rest of her life on the thames.
I did do the wood myself. Any half decent wood botherer was booked out for months.
My windows fortunately don't leak but steel boats suffer from condensation terribly and that kills the wood as its only stuck on the steel.
The deck was its second one in its 33 years but I couldn't afford to replace it.

So I still have this as its not sold in a year, dropped the price by £20k and still hardly a sniff.
Time to repaint the deck though, last time I used hempel deck paint and even after 3 coats it's not holding up well enough. Looking for recommendations on a good but cost effective non slip deck paint.

So I'm thinking of using this with the non slip beads added.
Anyone think the jotun is a better option?
I made my own. I used fine aquarium gravel. Sprinkled it onto wet paint. When dry coated over the top. Really nice and grippy.SML Lustre Marine Deck Paint | Single Pack | SML Paints

So I went with the SML lustre because of ease of use and because of the time limit to get hold of it.
Pretty pleased with it and single coat coverage was very good. Went with a light grey and I think it's much nicer than the hempel deck paint.
Still for sale if anyone wants it
