Hello again,
Wondering if anyone with a similar Catalina has thought about or completed templating of the fin keel.
Previously I had a '78 C&C 29 Mk1 which I raced for years.  Some years ago I templated the keel and discovered that the factory keel was not symmetrical, or anywhere near symmetrical. After some research I came across a design template from which I fabricated templates for 3 stations on the lead keel and then reformed the keel to the templates.  The change in the boats handling was to say the least VERY noticeable to the good. Tacking angles became symmetrical, pointing ability improved and much of the so called tenderness of the boat at higher apparent wind speeds appeared to be lessened.
So the question is, has anyone done this for the Catalina 36 TR fin keel?
