| Swing keel flap question I am currently restoring a 8M trailer sailor and there is a flap that covers the swing keel opening under the boat. This flap has had it. It looks like some sort of thick convas that is screwed down by brass strips either side of the keel slot opening. What does this flap do? I am guessing reduces drag? Should a just leave it off? As I am sure it produces more drag in the state it is in. Should I replace it? I don't know how to go about replacing it though as I don't know where to get the material from. Does any one have any ideas on what I could use, or any other suggestions? Thanks heaps  Boat is a Hi-way. Damn that 480KG keel was a prick to get out in my drive way  Last edited by DennisRB : 07-26-2005 at 10:49 AM. Reason: oops just realized I should have put this in the sailboats forum  |
