You are right of course, but I'll be darned if I can see the
difference in the keel. I saw one out there in the yard where my boat
was and I looked at it pretty closely. I couldn't tell the difference
in the keel.

I was told that the molds were different, but I don't know for sure and
details seem to vary with retelling.


Before I left, I talked to a couple of people about it and apparently
there is a difference - I can't tell what it is. There is also a
slight difference in weight - the Halman is heavier than the Nordic by
120 pounds or something like that.

Could be the forefoot now that I think about it - the Halman's may be
a little less fine than the Nordic, but I don't have one here to look
at.


They are fun little boats. Where are you planning to sail her?


Narragansett Bay will be it's primary sail area - you can't get in
that much trouble in Narragansett Bay. :)


Tom...does your keel resemble the one in the drawing (on the right)?
