Nevertheless I was impressed with your boat and her sailing abilities. What impressed me most was the configuration of the twin keels and twin rudders. I have a Dibley 8000 sports boat of similar configuration except it draws 2.6m with a lifting keel. This is no good for coastal cruising as it draws too much with the keel down and cannot sit on the bottom with the keel up. It’s a fast boat, we have achieved 20kts in 25kts of wind but, after seeing your boat am giving serious consideration to adapting it to a twin keel twin rudder configuration. It was a pleasure meeting you and I wish you the very best wishes, a fair wind and a following sea for the rest of your adventures. Regards Hew
