General description

Lead is the heaviest of materials usually available. Its density of 11.3 g/cm3 makes it the ideal material for use as ballast of boats. 

A lead keel would be about twice the weight than the same piece made from cast iron. This ensures greater stability and the use of a more efficient keel, since it has a smaller volume and provides the same performance.


Delivery time

To request an estimate:
