Keel Fin

We drove about 120 km to Noosa to pick up my keel fin from John. Four Australian builders joined forces to engage a steel fabrication company to fabricate keel fins in Sydney. I believe this saved us all quite a bit of time, compared to engaging companies individually for one-off fabircation.

This thing is massively heavy. I'm yet to pour lead keel bulb halves.
