    I believe they are referred to as “encapsulated” keels, and do not have conventional keel bolts. However, the fibreglass inner side of the hull on my Atlanta 28 definitely have significant bulges where I would expect the bilge or twin keels to be attached.
    One side of my port side keel has a hairline crack where it joins to the hull, but a surveyor has only recommended that I grind out the crack, allow it to dry out and then refill with epoxy and top off with gel coat, before antifouling.
    Sorry I can’t be of any more help.

    Walk ashore or swing mooring?

    I pay about £500 pa for a swing mooring in West Mersea, accessible to the sea HW +/- 4hrs. Macwseter 28 bilge keel, sits on the bottom at low tide.

    Do you have the original mainsail? The sail logo is different for Atlanta and Macwester.
