1paulg 17 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 has anyone ever seen an uglier keel than that? Exactly what I was thinking ..... Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Agreed looks like an old IMS keel, why would you? Link to post Share on other sites
TimB 7 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 from the web page "The pivoting lifting keel reduces the performance-oriented 3.75m draft to 1.6m for access to all harbours and creeks. It also provides unmatched safety in case of grounding." hence the odd shape, so it fits against the hull when up.... Link to post Share on other sites

As I ponder further I am torn between a pogo 50 or a Cookson50. The way I see it I'm only 6 little lotto number's away so I best do my research now. Which would you pick and why? !
