Just a thought: Does CompuKeels in Wisconsin still exist?????????
They will provide the keel templates for almost any boat they did have all the C&Cs but wanted more performance so they sent a set of drawings from which to make the templates long time ago and really not much money then .couple hundred dollars or so. Takes the mystery of conversion to NACA forms ..

It was NOT a trivial DIY job though, be sure of your abilities first. As Ken mentioned, I did rebuild mine. It was saturated, and cracked during the winter. When I pulled the skins off I was happy I'd decided to rebuild as the welds holding the frame to the post were dramatically corroded. I had a new frame welded on, applied and shaped new foam, and put glass on top. Very happy with the result. I kept the same outline shape (in case anyone is thinking of turning me in to the PHRF folks...), but shaped it to NACA foils. It was not shaped like that before. Very happy with the results. Within Canada there is also Competition Composites (AKA Phil's Foils) in Ottawa. They will re-use the post if you want and will CNC cut the profile in the foam, so super accurate.

NACA profiles). So a DIY job was quickly out of question. The boat is not a 40 kts foiler but i do race the boat and wanted a nice rudder. The small local yard quote was over 2500$ for a complete rebuild, that would have been very ok, but still an eyeball job. At this point i decided to go all the way crazy and give the job to the pros. Don't regret it, i almost cried when i opened the box it was so beutiful! There is a lot of good info on their website, even a video of the fabrication process. I have now a keel fairing job on my to do list, but not a priority at this point.

Good company to keep in mind if I ever need to do mine. Better to deal with a Canadian company with our dollar being so low right now.
