    looking for comments on current standards for keel loads:
    - from grounding,
    - from slamming (falling off a wave),

    especially in light of the keels falling off high performance racers such as the last Sydney-Hobart. Any suggestions for updating criteria- hopefully quantitative comments, such as deceleration times should be (x) based on experimental or modeled data.

    Anyone have any current data on this?
