| Yes she is fitted with a drop-keel/centre-board amidships. First one was wooden with iron plates on bottom. Made it a bit too close tolerance and wood swelled causing it to jam ( in up position). Helped a lot so decided to go whole hog and put all metal one in. Made it too heavy for easy lifting and lowering so left it out and am making a slimmer lighter one. Not much room below deck for lifting plus deck isn't really that strong to support 2cwt. Decided side area is nearly as important as weight to stop rolling and helps a lot with straight-line tracking. Still don't fancy the Atlantic ! What progress with yours ? |
