Is it necessary to repaint the keel of a strand Beneteau when?

The ship struck and stuck in the sand and I'm sure the strike a little painting and it was a little damage. What happens if you do not fix it, it does not rust? I have no idea what is done. Do you it will be removed from the pier, costing £ 100 and that many.

It is a very good idea to do so. Long term, probably spend much more if you do not deal with it. It is a fiberglass boat and am keen to have at least one person qualified to see if damages were caused in the glass. Once the gel layer is compromised and the glass is exposed you have to deal with it. If the ground glass, you have to deal with it. You do not want to allow salt water to seep into the glass. You can travel far from the point of impact and create problems that can cost a fortune to remedy. Spend a little now to save many more later. Sorry, but I have seen this so many times too.
