Do you know of any drawing or pictures of your boat out of the water?

Id like to see the shape of her keel

Joe

I note that there are no pictures of her on our website where you an see
her keel. I'll try and get one for you.

Basically, she is a full keel (10' draft) with a cutaway forefoot. She
originally had a centre board as well but that was removed in the 20s
when her mainmast was shortened. The bottom of the keel is flat and she
sits on it nicely. The front of the keel is around the front of the
life rafts and the back is directly below the helm.

There is a book written on her called "HMCS ORIOLE, The Peoples Boat."
by Shirley Hewitt. It has diagrams and pictures of her since she was built.
