[C320-list] wing keel to fin keel

[Peter Herron]

The yard did all the work.  The bolt patterns are made to match yours.   
We got the pattern by taping a thin sheet of plywood to the bottom of  
the keel stub, marking the plywood to show the outline of the bottom of  
the keel stub, and then spraying paint through the holes in the bilge  
where the bolts go.

This can lead to some error when the new keel is cast, but if it's  
there, I can't tell the difference.
