Two more images below. All the fairing work was done using West Systems thickened with a combo of colloidal silica and fine fairing compound. It was a pain to sand. I'm going to apply a skim coat of stuff easier to sand to fill minor surface imperfections, then start barrier coating. The bottom section will be done when the boat goes in the sling Friday afternoon, and will launch Sunday or Monday.

The upper leading edge needed to be extended about 1/2" near the top as even with the batten epoxied on, the upper leading edge was not parallel with the rest of the keel leading edge.
