With the ballast keel poured, faired and painted, it is now time to start building out fore and aft of it.

Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 36: Flip it all (Faired Ballast Keel)
Sometimes, you just have to flip things on their heads to work on them. As we finished fairing our the ballast keel, we flipped it and the wood keel in order to be able to work on the underside.

Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 35: Final Cut of the Keel Timber
This is one expensive piece of lumber!

Now that we are close to mating the two keels togeth...
