First I wanted to buy a Tayana Vancouver 460 because I like
the pilothouse design. Then I went to look at some Beneteaus
with cast iron keels and this made me worry about Tayana's
fiberglass keel getting damaged if I go island hopping in the
South Pacific or sail to my Lanta Island property. Then today
I talked to a Hunter salesman and he said that lead keels are
the best because they can absorb energy if I hit something
and are easier to repair than fiberglass.

If you were in my position would you just go ahead and get
a Tayana and not worry too much about the keel ? I need to
have 3 sleeping cabins and would like a boat that can be set
up for singlehanded sailing.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Talk to Jim, if he gets back alive.
