Sorry, the blog moved, i'll update the link now.

The Hull part of the keel hull join seems fine so i deduct either:
- The front of the keel has corroded a lot and left said gap
- The front keel bolt stretched enough to let the front drop and create a gap
- That gap was there from factory and had a lot off bedding compound in it.


Not sure, I think if the keel had dropped at the front i would be expecting gaps all along the join, not just the front, in a wedge shape.
Of course the Hull could have distorted or any number of things. :P
