    Came across Ted Brewer,s artical on keel end plates in Good Old Boat and am wondering if any one out there has tried adding an end plate to there keel? Our boat is a shoal draft and the keel does have a flat bottom, so it would be easy enough to add a plate. Do you think it would be worth the effert to try this?

    Contact Eric Sponberg thru his website at:
    www.sponbergyachtdesign.com ; he's actually done it and I'm sure he would discuss it with you.
