 Bill--
 Here is what I=A0 know.=A0 When I bought Checkmate,
 eons ago, we looked at 4
 Frers 33s Each one had a slightly different keel and rudder.
 Wolverine had a
 less deep keel-- but NOT the "shallow keel" version.=A0
 Impetuous had a deeper
 keel, faired to a fine blade, as was the rudder.
 We measured with calipers the thickness of the trailing
 edges. ALL
 DIFFERENT>
 This is apparently not covered by class rules.=A0 At that
 time (way back in
 the 90s), Impetuous was one of the leading boats, and the
 owner, Paul
 Zabetakis, was class president at the time. And close by. So
 we decided to
 go with that.=A0 We extended the rudder about 3 includes
 to fair it from about
 3/4 inch to a fine edge. Did the same to keel. We didn't
 have templates.=A0 If
 I can find the diagram of the two boats we measured (I
 plotted the shapes on
 graph paper, I'll copy scan and email.
