Hello Bob,

It’s not a sandwich! The hull is fiberglass, the keel is steel. So we’re attaching a steel box, filled in some places with other steel as ballast, to the bottom of the fiberglass hull. There may be some fairing of the union with epoxy or the like, but the keel’s surface won’t be glassed in, just painted.
