New Parts...

Several months ago I ordered my lead keel bulb through Jim Betts in Anacortes.  He is building 2 Bieker boats which needed keel bulbs and he kindly let me piggy back on his order.  They turned out really well - mine weighs just shy of 1300 pounds.




The bottom of the keel makes a transition from curved to flat.  

I built a plywood box to hold the bulb securely while transporting it
Simon Miles built this beautiful bowsprit with carbon - very light and strong.  Simon is building a Bieker Rip Tide 25 which uses this same bowsprit.  Simon got his lead keel bulb from the same batch as mine. 



Meanwhile, back in the boat shop, I have installed the head flat.  Hole is for inspection port.  Work continues on the holding tank bracket and the forward bunk flat.
