    another Stellar owner

    I have Stellar 30 hull # 1 (fixed deep keel) and have enjoyed sailing it since 1989.
    Would love to hear from you to discuss design and construction details.

    The biggest hydraulics engineering coy, Holmatro, has all kinds of solutions for lift keels.
    www.holmatro.nl

    Hydraulics are (almost) foolproof. If I ever shall build a new boat, I will definately have one with a liftkeel, with torpedo bulb à la mode of Eric Sponberg's design.
    With titanium springs in way of shock absorbers.
