The final keel bolt nut and washer was tightened up yesterday. I had to cut notch back into a frame to get it fitted. Today despite feeling bit wobbly (I have the Lurgy) the keel join was finished off with a few coats of primer, so another job done.

Good work, Gary! Another tick in the box.

The keel is now under the boat, had a bit of fun and took two attempts.
But it's ready to fit on Thursday.

That would be a stiff boat, has the same draft as my 35'er. Clearly yours is a performance machine!

I see that your photo now shows you with the the waterline at about head-height. What's the designed draught of this class?
