honorable cpt neal,
ventured into you web site as postef and discovered the following:

beneath a picture of your "keel" (now that's funny)
Here you are privileged to view the keel close up and personal. It's easy
for those familiar with the purpose of a ballast keel to understand how
superior a design this modified keel is compared to the run-of-the-mill keel
or, worst of all, a twin, bilge keel vessel. This vessel will sail circles
around any Westerly Centaur. She will leave a P30 in her wake and will
survive storms at sea where flimsy vessels such as Express 30's will break
up and sink.


i beg to differ.
a POS coronado 27 will never sail circles around a P30. in any event, good
luck to you sir and fair winds.
you do take good care of your vessel.

gf.

PS: it appears the block of wood under the aft portion of your "keel" is
too far aft and placing undue stress on this important member.

PSS: you may remember me from some time ago. i am the guy that posted the
picture of you and the cedar bucket !
cheers
