New keel in place.


I only dropped the bulb twice trying to get it under the hull !! (easier than trying to lift the entire boat again like last time though). Remember that my bulb is literally bolted on from the bottom.
I only had to fair the bulb 3 times. By the third I was over it and there are a couple of rough spots like the pointy tail.

I am still sorting through profiles for a new rudder, I thought there would be some options but wow. Which profile? what chord? what length?
Again I have ideas of what I would like but I am still looking for good advice, keeping in mind that I don't have a mold ( I do have access to one but that means good dollars for a carbon foil--keep budget in mind Josh), and can I build it myself.
