I have the lead keel weight from my 26' sailboat, which was
destroyed last year. It's on a flat-bed trailer presently, on Whidbey Island.

Roughly 1500lbs, but I'm in the middle of calculating a more accurate
weight from its shape, as offloading it to weigh the trailer alone is
problematic.

Please contact me if you're in the Puget Sound area, are building
a boat, and want to save yourself the trouble of loading the keel...

It would be helpful to know what kind of boat this keel is from.

The keel is from an Excaliber 26', built about 1970.
I'll be taking a photo of it tomorrow, but thought it would be more useful to
convert some measurements into a mathematical model of its shape.
The lead ballast is fiberglassed inside the keel fin, which I thought
might possibly be more useful than extracting it.

I've attached a silhouette of the boat, showing the approximate shape
of the cast lead within it; each grid square is 1'x1'.
