Keel Detail and Centerboard Construction

Cleaned up the epoxy squeeze out from the keel and then applied the 1/2" round over router bit to the bottoms of the keel and the front of the centerboard trunk.  It turned out pretty nice.

With the keel and trunk finished (awaiting the lead pour).  I turned my attention to the centerboard itself. The first step was to excavate the ledge around where the led gets poured.  This, when glued to its mirror image creates a slot that keep the lead from falling out.

The laser cut pieces from CLC come partially pre-excavated.  But you have to use a router to remove the extra wood to create the ledge.

Lots of glue, clams and weight and the centerboard is assembled.

Next up I assemble the keelson.
