Mark,
I wonder where the other origonal fixed keels are. I have fixed keel Hull #14
and I understand there were 20 or so built in 1974. Has anyone seen any of the
others?
One modification my Brother made to my boat before I got it was to have a full
batten main made with lots of roach. I am interested in the masthead backstay
extension you have. Setting the backstay attachment point another 5 inches aft
should stop the sail from hitting the backstay. Do you have a picture? My SIL
does Stainless fabrication and could make up one for me.
