Do you really want a swing or lift keel for a 'long voyage'? Where's
this voyage likely to take you?

Not well explained. The aim is for a long time period but not long leaps.
Tucking into places and taking our time. Possible Atlantic crossing but not
necessarily so and possible Pacific to Aus but not necessarily so. I want
shallow draft to get in close to places and up rivers/canals etc but not
shallow draft that comes with smaller boats. I want the best of both worlds
in other words.
