I'm looking at buying a used pocket cruiser, something in the 22' range, and
I was wondering if I should get a swing keel, or a fixed one?
The lake in our town is big enough for up to 30' cruisers (yacht club
average), but has some shallow areas, but still lots of good deep areas.
I was told by an old salt that I should stick with a fixed keel, but I like
the attraction of a swing keel, to bring me in closer to shore.
I would just like to have a few experienced opinions.
Thanks to all.
