Check out the 52 foot version as well, much more space and heaps more cover beneath its hard dodger. Only thing i don't like is the swing keel, its a huge weight to manhandle if it needs removing to replace the pivoting pin, and the keel box housing the retracted keel would need constant attention to prevent it fouling up and inhibiting the swing of the keel. Otherwise well thought out design IMO
I don't think it is a swing keel, but just a centreboard. Difference being that there is no ballast in the centreboard. Certainly maintenance to be done, but not needed to have super special equipment to drop out a few ton.
