What--you didn't decide to go with the Waco Cootie airfoil?

Okay, yours is prettier.  But you'll definitely be stuck with your design,
and with your choice of port crab or starboard crab, 'cause that profile on
a keel is gonna be a one-way animal.  I guess it's better to look good than
to sail good.  <grin>  Umm. you weren't really serious, right?  Tim? 

 

Seriously-that's a pretty comprehensive website you stumbled across.  Thanks
for sharing.

Yes, you are certainly right...once we pick a keel shape, we are definitely
stuck with it.

 

I've decided to go with this...I think it's pretty.
