I laid out the keel pattern on 1/2" ply sheet, the centerline board on which to build the casting plug. I traced each cross section from the plan (Keel & rudder - lines & templates schematic 97/2) and my trusty helper cut them out. I pasted them on wood panels and cut those to size. I will build that up into a 3d structure then fill with polystyrene. Epoxy and glass will go over that after some fine shaping and bondo work...at least that is the plan.
