Right. The keelbolts are still attached to the keel

They were simply bolted thru the bottom of the FRP stub. There doesn't seem to be much structure to carry the load or distribute it throughout the hull. I would like to see the bolts run thru solid floors that are part of a grid of frames and longitudinals connecting the mast step, keel, chainplates.etc. But then, I'm old fashioned.
