SAILBOAT PLANS KEEL PATTERNS

The Bezier 28 is a full keel boat, and in order to fit the full size keel pattern onto 24" x 66" maximum pattern paper the keel is broken up into sections. The drawing below represent the full size patterns for the keel of the Bezier 28.



They are then re-matched together as shown in the color coded drawing below.

Full Size forming templates below are also supplied to aid the builder in the fabrication of the keel shell.
