If it had a swing keel, I'd already be on the

Pardon my ignorance, Don. I know nothing about sailboating.


What is a "Swing Keel?"


A keel on a pin that serves as a hinge. You can swing the keel up and
down on the pin, rather than lift it up or push it down like a
daggerboard.


Er... Still doesn't tell me much. I can't envision it i suppose,a nd I
really don't know what a "Daggerboard" is..

so I'm still at a loss.

A retractable keel. Couple different ways of controlling the keel.
