Re: Full or fin keel?

Paulo,
You claim to have sailed at 6.5k in apparent winds of 18k @ 28degrees. That equals an angle of about 43 degrees and 13k of True wind.

Re: Why I like a full keel

The assertion that a full keel yacht, with an attached rudder and the propeller in an aperture, is as vulnerable as a fin keel yacht for catching lines, like crab pots, is one of the most outlandish...

Re: A blue water sailer that can go in light winds

This thread starts out asking about “Blue Water” boats in “Light airs“. That usually implies certain requirements. The thread ended showing a nice video of a race boat in heavy air. I see no...

Re: Full or fin keel?

mitiempo: “isn’t that a fair comparison” to compare boats by their displacement. Yes, I agree it is fair. The Westsail 32 vs. the Beneteau 42; and the Alajuela 38 vs. the Bavaria 50.
