I remember you, sir - a perceptive individual and a sailor at heart.

Thanks for calling my Coronado 27 a POS which, no doubt, stands
for Plenty Of Speed.

Don't worry about the placement of the wood block under the
keel. It was doing no harm to the keel which is tough and fastened
securely to the hull while sitting in its cassette bedded by epoxy
and secured by massive keel bolts.

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
