[frers-list]Fairing keel and rudder

[Bill Thompson]

Hi all,

Have sanded d'Ad lib's hull - waterline and below - back to the vinyl ester. Brutal work. The good news is, after 27 years, not a single blister, soft spot or other imperfection. Washed and wetted down there is no ripple of imperfection to be found in the reflection. Come spring, sealant and 6 coats of inter protect before bottom paint should keep her dry and healthy for a good long time. Pics avail. if anyone would like to see.

However, keel and rudder (which is still dry) are not as fair, so I'm wondering if anyone has templates and/or methodology to suggest, so I can bring them fair, prior to coating and finishing. All help appreciated.
