While all of this was going on, the keel was being prepared. I decided on a laminated keel 2 1/4" deep of three 3/4" laminations. First, we had to scarf the 3/4" CVG Firto 20 - 22' lengths. The planks were scarfed using the 12" chop saw and jig. This produces a beautiful, accurate scarf joint.
Once the three laminations were prepared, they were flattened with the #5 and laminated together. A couple of passes across the tablesaw and the keel blank was ready to fit to the boat.
Once the keel is screwed, bolted and glued to the boat, it will get its final fairing on the boat. Stay tuned.
