Bcone1381 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I saw this photo in the main area of the messing-about forum, and thought that it might be suitable for discussion here. My experience is nil and I wonder what changes in handling would take place with a keel like that. Here is the fully restored boat, with rub rails. Also note the familiar brass that was used on both the bow and stern. Quote
JReed Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Would track like it was on rails for one. Probably wouldn't turn very easy. All so imagine that with that the windage would be less of an issue. Quote
Kudzu Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Looks like a Percy Blanford design. But with all that skeg/rudder/keel hanging down I imagine it would be dang near impossible to make it turn. Total waste of time and I imagine it ruined the boats handling. Quote
