Because I sail in the Chesapeake, ultra shallow draft appeals to me (I
like to park in the corners!). I'm considering the purchase of a
Kirie 41 lifting keel (really a heavily ballasted centerboard boat),
but I'm having trouble finding information on their stability rating,
and how they sail up wind (even a gentleman is occasionally forced
into this activity). Any thoughts or links to specific information?
Thanks, Kit
