March 30, 20206 yr Hi all, I'm looking for advice regarding sailing my yachts in stronger winds. should I use the standard longer keel or a shorter one, which is best suited
March 30, 20206 yr Hi it is generally held that the longer , that is deeper , fin will give more fighting moment, most people reduce sail area as the wind strength increases
March 30, 20206 yr Author Thanks Mike, that's what I thought. I purchased a Dragonflite 95 to add to my fleet and had the offer in a shorter keel with the Dragonflite 95. Cheers skipper
