That's not a winged keel! Those are blocks under the keel! Since its sitting on 6x6
blocks, and there's "air" under the rudder, it doesn't look like the rudder is deeper than
the keel.

I suppose someone might chose to go a few seasons rather than fix a bent rudder post, but
I would think you'd have to fix it before selling - or simply take the price right off the
top - so why not fix it right away?

Jon,

It is hard to tell from the photo but it looks like the keel is a wing
keel, shoal draft and the rudder isn't. The rudder looks longer than the
keel. This would cause the rudder to take the full effect of any
grounding.

I'm inclined to believe this is the case and it has happened before and
as long as the rudder functions it will be accepted.
