Love the photos Pat.  The boat looks great.

Try a little dish soap on the keel to see if that helps with raising and lowering.

Great job!  The people who do the best keel fairing jobs on older boats often have to spray the keel with McLube prior to sailing, particularly in warmer temperatures, to aid in the keel going up and down.  You also will want to ensure that your keel measures in to the class approved template if it was faired, and let the Tech Committee know if it has been faired so that they can measure it as well.  It sounds like it may be a bit too snug but TBD.

I remember mine on #29 being very snug.  We would have to have one person "dead lifting" it up, while another two people were working the block and tackle.  The good side was it never moved while racing!
