lead keel


Recommended Posts

But that would make the boat heavier! Why would you want to do that? Surely it would only slow it down...

 

If you place the lead in the right spot its stops a boat flipping over permanently. An upside down boat is very, very slow apparently.

 

There's quite a few at the MYC who could report on their inverted VMG. I hear its nearly 0 unless theres a strong tide running.

Not on real boats. I have only ever heard of that happening on Cats and powered boats. ;-)
