Bavaria Match 35 Keel Profile

[koc]

Hi there,

I've been looking allover for some information about the Bavaria Match 35 Keel Profile...

Where is the gravity point, low/middle/high, on a 2,20m keel? (Draft)

I'm hoping someone knows the answer, i dont think google has a page left i havent found

Thanks...

Hello!

You are talking aboute the CG of the keel, or about the CG of the boat?

Hello!
I am talking about the CG of the keel
How long from the bottom of the boat.

For practical effects you can consider that the keel is a massive piece of lead.
You only have to take some measurements and find the keel volume. Then you can divide the keel in small longitudinal sections and start partial volume calculations. When you have reached half of the total volume you have found the plan where the Keel CG is.
Then you have only to measure the vertical distance to the bottom of the boat.

Hi there,

Thank you for the answer, thou im unable to get the bout out of the water to measure the keel it self.

Maybe i can call bavaria, if noone else can help me out?

Thanks anyway...

I designed a new keel for a Bavaria 44 and got excellent cooperation from the Bavaria yard, including keel drawing.

The cg on the B35 keel will be slightly below half the keel length at a depth of approx 1.30/1.40 m.
