Keel Fairing
Keel Fairing is the process that involves all the surfaces of the keel being sanded down with the use of a long board to avoid discrepancies. Templates are also used to ensure that both sides mirror one another to the designer’s original profiles. Paint finishes if required will then ensure optimum race performance.
Optimisation
Optimisation is the process that involves weighing boats to assist with calculating the boat rating. Various mast adjustments and rig settings can be changed alongside the deck gear to ensure ease of use.
