Thank you for that.

I noticed there is an owners forum. I suppose you have to be an owner to read it.....don't know.

I would hope that site would give many answers to the common problems.

I also think that having a lot of those boats "out there" would help in having more information (fixes) than many other boats.

Thanks again.

<edit>

Another question.
I am sure one needs the keels up in heavy weather so as not to tripl
Leeway is another risk vs reward argument (lee shore???)
The question is are the keels like my old Westerly Nimrod where one could gain quite a bit of "bite" by lowering the keel only a little..........say the windward one in a mess.........I am imagining no "tripping" and only "dragging" of the windward keel.
