.... but a standard keel on a
displacement hull can benefit from some tracking via a fin.

Does anybody else get the point here, it is complete
double-talk to me.

So ya think he means the keel as a fin, not an additional
fin on the fin keel?

Actually, if that's what he meant, he's wrong. A fin keel
provides lateral resistance and a pivot point so that the
boat will turn easily & consistently.

But as you say, what does one expect from Bubspritke.
