One more thing...
On your templates, be sure to mark them at 10%, 20%, 30%, etc. from leading edge to trailing edge. When fairing, repeatedly transfer these marks to the keel with a Sharpie pen.
The reason is that you'll want to lay a batten or flexible straitedge across these points (i.e. Stations 1-5 at the 10% mark, same at the 20% mark, etc. - will effectively look like holding it from top to bottom) to ensure there are no "scallops" or low points between the stations at each fore/aft point as you fair to get to the new stations.
To help find the low spots, once the straightedge is in place, hold a shoplight up against the keep on one side of the straitedge... look towards the light from the other side of the straitedge. You'll quickly see where the low points are.
Hope this makes sense. Trying to explain this stuff in text is not the easiest!
