KeelGuard on a Ribcraft 585
Afternoon all,

Does anybody have a Keelguard on a Ribcraft 585? I am looking at fitting one to ours but I don't know what length to order.

Anybody got one already and know what length it is??

Cheers,

Chris

Don't bother, it's rubbish. Ribcraft replaced mine on my 6.8 after only three years and within 12 months it had come away again. I had it taken off and replaced by a Kevlar-reinforced fiberglass strip.

Just ask Charlie at Ribcraft.
