    Nice boat, probably too big and fat, same problem with the rudder protruding.

    The Nordica 16 is 14½'x6'x18"

    Looking for approx 18'-20'x5'x±20" long keel with outboard rudder attached to the trailing end of the keel and maybe with a CB through the keel

    All too big, too heavy too deep. Something like that 20' LOA, 1200lbs displacement?
    Right the rudder need not be outboard it can attach to the end of the keel.

    No self-bailing cockpit. Could not find the undewater profile. Ugly roller furler. Not very convincing to me.

    The Cape Dory Typhoon is approaching my requirements except that it is too deep and a too heavy. A gaff or a gunter rig wold be great for quick mast raising.

    I probably can pull 1800lbs without trouble.

    My Oday 2+2 had a kick up rudder with control lines very easy to unload weed etc.

    In the end I bought a Shark 24. I have had it 2 seasons in the water. I love it. I caught once or twice a submerged mooring buoy or a lobster pot buoy. It's a fast boat, it turns on a dime, tacks and jibes very easily, goes on a plane with some wind, draws 3', has a short mast, is light and was very cheap. Thanks guys!
