I have the new trailing edge of the keel in place here, attached on each side by 2 layers of carbon tape at 90 degrees to each other. It will take one more layer, and then fairing with thickened epoxy afterwards, but the piece is properly aligned and meets legal dimensions. It's looking good so far!

There is some more work to do on the keel bulb, the front has some gouges and dings (not my doing, this time), and then it'll all need some new paint below the waterline. Probably going to use antifoul, because 496 will likely spend some time in the ocean this year.
