I never knew Carina meant keel until I saw an interesting
show on the stars recently, which reminded me of this boat.

Fitting name for a boat with a full keel.

There is more than one Carina. Carina 1 is still alive and racing
and undergoing restoration this year, according to the
below article.

But it's a southern constellation, not many people up here would have
probably ever seen it... I haven't for example (although I have seen the
Southern Cross).

Bonus: What famous boat is named after this?

Carina, of course. IIRC a ~60' S&S designed ketch that won a lot of big
races in the '50s... very pretty boat, too. Somewhere amongst my books
of boat designs there is a chapter on her with lines plan & pictures...
too bad more of this kind of stuff isn't on the wwweb... yet

You may want to revise that, I said Carina was an approx 60' S&S design
when she is a 46' Rhodes design! OOPS...

At first I was thinking of a different constellation, a northern one,
that looks somewhat like the letter "Y" but in my foggy memory has some
connection with the word "keel."

Heck, there's a Carina III which apparently is an IOR-era hotshot, still
winning races. It goes to show a boat that sails well is never
obsolete... the wind & sea don't change much...

she sank again around 2004 and was destroyed.''


That suks.
