I opted not to take the time to fair my iron keel this time around due to life and stuff. I am considering making another go at it in the fall. The question is: what is it worth? Faster? Better pointing? I race my Hunter 34 in PHRF races against similar boats. I have read that a smooth, symmetrical keel provides as much improvement as a new racing jib. My keel is a bit rough. Not the worst but not as smooth as the hull or the rudder. So, compared to other improvements like racing sails or a folding prop where does a faired keel rank?
