Trailing Edge Addition

It was snowing last week when I did this....was below 30, but still ok to get some work done. This is the G10 board that I used to replace the trailing edge of the keel where it was removed. I ended up only needing to extend the keel about 1.5" to maintain proper chord. Up near the top was a little fatter and all I could do was add a triangle section to fill in the space. Not optimum, but way better than it was. I drilled the G10 every 6" and used stainless screws with the heads cut off as pins. The whole thing is held on with epoxy/microfiber mix and some light uni. The photo from the back is pretty nice and shows the trailing edge. When this is finally faired in it will get sanded to about 1/8".
