Keel and Bottom Work: Before and After

Before and after pics for comparison:

On the way out ...
Headin' back in ...


The Keel:

Before ...

A week of rain meant that I ran out of time before I could finish fairing the keel ... next time.





The Rudder:










Next haul out I will have to invest the energy I put into the keel into the rudder. The starboard side is still wet and will require cutting out the whole side and relaminating it. Alas. 

All told I am glad this job is over ... for now. Hopefully I will get a decade out of the barrier coat!
