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?

Alma:
You'll nave to sniff around. I saw something that implied several have had upgrades to a 'keel problem'...

The 424 is favorite of mine.
