Sea State : Square Meter: Keel Ho !
https://seastatemarine.blogspot.com/2015/04/square-meter-keel-ho.html
Local wood, local water, local watercraft. Thursday, April 9, 2015. Square Meter: Keel Ho! After a good deal of prep-work, we have bolted and bonded the lead keel to the 1929 square meter class racing sloop. The new 316 stainless bolts we installed in the lead casting lined up well with the receiving holes on the keel timber. They just required a little coaxing as we lowered the hull onto the stationary lead. Once I discovered how useful they were, I replaced all the come-alongs with chain-falls. Posted ...

Local wood, local water, local watercraft. Monday, June 1, 2015. Square Meter: Rebuilding the Rudder. The original rudder was fortunately with the boat. This allowed us to fabricate a copy faithful to the original design. To do this we had a 1 inch steel shaft cut to length and had 5 tangs welded on. After we received this we were ready to vacuum bag on carbon cloth. Once the cloth became rigid, we cut it to shape and over the next few days we will sand and add fairing to make a nice foil shape. We polis...
