 Keel lifting. Have just had a failure of wire strop connecting keel lifting sheet to shackle on keel itself!I sail from a drying harbour (Bray. co Wicklow in Ireland) so major problem as lowered keel starts to burrow into sand on falling tide. Solution : as keel first touches on falling tide haul boat forward causing keel to fold into its slot in grounding plate . When boat is hi and dry  and keel fully up open windows in keel box  and attach new measured length wire strop between keel  shackle and  lifting sheet TRICKY
