yes - I may tone that down in future ones- but that was the way it was in the old pattern sheet I had - a 1/2 cedar tailboard way into the body -

a 1/4 lag screw goes through that tailboard into the back of the keel ( the dowel from the head ties the front together) - it may be overkill- but it sure as heck should hold up to use

and won't show much when painted
