The new keel detailing.

 Detailing the new section of keel.

In the last post we showed the new section of keel that we had to fashion out of a seasoned piece of oak.  The picture below shows the rabbets that Adam had cut for the planking to fit into.  They a shallow as the planking is only 3/8" thick, its amazing how they have lasted this long.
