    I would like to build fixed keel with a bulb for my 8m cruser sailing boat. I need some details.

    I'd be interested in working with you on it. What sort of information are you looking for? Are you looking to hire a naval architect? Do you have certain performance or draft reduction goals?

    Here are two foundries that make keels:
