That keel won't work around here. There's always lots of stuff floating in the water.
There's Sargasso seaweed, there's grass floating, there's lots of lobster and crab traps
with floats attached with floating rope. All this stuff would get tangled up in the workings
of that keel patent. I can tell this is another case where an engineer has an idea he thinks
will work. Too bad he just has no sailing experience in the real world. He should come post
here. He'd fit right in.....
