    I've got the fiberglass all done, and hopefully will coat it with urethane tomorrow if all goes as planned. Will post pictures of the completed board soon

    I'm curious on what will most likely work best on raising the keel... I can rig up a 3:1 block and tackle pretty easy(I have all the rigging for it), and I could put a hook on the mast so I can raise it with the block and tackle... Maybe I should find a way to put pegs in it at strategic points so I can set the board at a height and remove the block and tackle... Seems burdensome.

    All the glassing is done on the board! Almost complete. Here's what I ended up with.
