Before I flip the hull and take it out of the workshop, I wanted to try on the keel and drill the holes for the keel bolts. I thought it would be easier to do this as long as the boat is upside down and here in the workshop I have sturdy iron supports on the ceiling for the manual chain host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"828\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3382-828x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3382-828x1024.jpg 828w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3382-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3382-768x950.jpg 768w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3382-1242x1536.jpg 1242w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3382-1656x2048.jpg 1656w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3382-624x772.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I built a small cart to transport the keel. With a laser and a string I marked the center of the hull. I fitted the jig with 4 heavy-duty rollers so that I could move it around in the workshop. With the chain hoist i lifted and aligned the keel fin to the laser and string line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\"

That&#8217;s why I decided to remove the filler in the area of the keel plate.
