Hi Yorkieboy

If the pieces cannot be joined together, how about using them as a pattern and cut another keel from the waste material that you should have left over from the launch parts? This is the joy of working in wood and I would think more satisfying and certainly cheaper than going to the trouble to re-order issue 6.

Hi Yorkieboy and welcome.
i was in the same boat (no pun intended) as you. I snapped on of my formers, so i ordered a back-issue on line on their website.

Just another option

Hi yorkieboy1! BigGrin

Mike Turpin is right make a replacement part, it's mad to buy another issue for 1 broken part. If you don't have a large piece of scrape you can buy sheets of ply from 0.4mm up and in different types of wood from cornwall model boats link is below:-

I like to buy the odd sheets when placing an order it come in handy at times!.ThumpUp
