Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

I even think a full keel would have more difficulty avoiding that situation in the first place. Well, I don't know.

Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

Yes, I, for example, use the word 'full' as a general term for all those 'full keels,' so when I see a modified full keel, I consider and call it 'in' full keel category. Otherwise, I would've had to...

Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

Just for fun. Most must've already seen this, but I've just seen it for the first time and remembered this poll.

I think the boat has a swing keel....

Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

And I also think folks voted for full keel considering the used sailboat market prices. Majority of the full keels are old, so generally cheaper.

Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

I wouldn't call 78 users sharing their votes as meaningless.

Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

Wow! That I didn't know, Sir. By the time, my opinion surely will change anyway!? At the moment, I'm pretty keen about the Day Sailer and Catalina 22 steps - Actually, still looking for a Day Sailer....

How much did you pay for your good looking boat?

Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

A strange poll result. I bet if there were full keels all over the new sailboat market, nobody voted here would be interested in them.

I used to be a huge full keel supporter. I was pretty much...

Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

At the moment, the poll says 44 to 32 in favor of full keels over fin keels. I don't know how to interpret the results. If the manufacturers were to built new full keels, would the market buy...

Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

The seller doesn't return my emails. Possibly, the boat has already been sold. Well, I'll find something else then.

Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

It's listed as fractional sloop. In the add, the owner wrote, "...includes a main sail, roller furling jib......Ready to sail today!"

Is it the same boat with this? ...

Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

Opinions? https://www.sailboatlistings.com/view/40084

It's a little far; I'll have to rent a truck and drive an hour or two. What do you folks think? Worth the drive?

Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

I think who knows what will work for me is the used sailboat market around here!? I will start with what I will be able to find. Tomorrow I'll see another Sunfish. If it's in good condition, I'll buy...

Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

Jim,

A funny confession... Until you brought the O'Day Day Sailer suggestion, I had thought that O'Day Day Sailers had ballast. I've very recently realized that they are centerboard dingies; their...

Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

I believe the fin keel will be the winner of the poll in the end. I suspect that full keelers are attracted to these sorts of discussions / polls more than fin keel folks, so the poll results are...

Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

Dear Moderators,

I've just realized that the poll is ending on 10-07-2021. Is there a way to change that date to, let's say, 05-05-2021?

Thanks.

Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

I see what you mean. I think it's safe to say that a Wave will also do a good job for the purpose. I'll be sailing alone and won't ever race. I just want to learn and practice.

I have a few good...

Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

Jim,

The more I read about Day Sailor, the more I'm convinced. DMF and you officially have changed my plans.

Thank you.

Re: Fin keel or Full keel...

Wow! At the moment, more people have voted for full keel. Perhaps, sailboat manufacturers would like to take that into consideration. This post seems like turning into a sort of marketing research!?...
