Re: Converting a bilge keeled Senior to centre-board

The Winkle Brig also had a similar hinged twin drop keel arrangement, (I worked building them for a short while in the early 90s)

Re: It's a pity that the site is not very current

Re: Waterwitch 'Sai-lon' Ex 'Lucky duck' leeds

Re: Converting a bilge keeled Senior to centre-board

When I built my GRP Senior I increased the draught by a foot and omitted the bilge keels, I also increased the ballast and hung it all off the bottom of the deeper keel, as you can imagine she now sails very well and will even head to windward in a force 6, albeit not very comfortably, she is also s...

Re: It's a pity that the site is not very current
