If you fear keel bolts then go with an encapsulated keel.


Encapsulated keels are still held on with bolts 'Wilbur'


Maybe that's what it means in Jolly Ole England but on this side of the
Pond an encapsulated keel is ballast inside a keel which is an integral
part of the hull. Usually chunks of lead or pig iron held in place with
concrete or resin.
