I have always wanted one. A cutter or sloop. There is a nice one on Yachtworld now. It was a ketch converted with advice from Bill Shaw. What is the story on the keel failures?
I'm looking at ketches. As I get older, a big mainsail gets harder and harder to handle. The ketch sailplan breaks things up nicely. Plus, ketches usually have a shorter mainmast, and there's some 55' bridges I'd like to be able to get under.
I hadn't heard anything about keel failures. What do you know?
