August 18, 2016 With the top of the keel, keel bolts and bottom of the keel stub taped, the hull was lowered on to the keel Thursday. This is so that the backing plates of 3/4" G10 material that James had prepared could be set in place with epoxy. The G10 material has a compression load tolerance of 60,000 psi.

| Holes in the keel stub lined up with the keel bolts...took a bit of fine maneuvering with the travel lift. |

| Backing plates all lined up ready for installation. Not the number key for each one. |
