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

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


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."

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.

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...
