Another advantage of a full keel is that you can hove – to and it will stay at the same angle to the waves. With a ketch rig they are very easy to handle.

Full Keels are reef-busters. On the other hand a fin keel can brake-off even by hitting under water sand dunes

They stopped building full keels because of production costs. The number of fatal incidents with bolt-on keels makes them too much anxiety. Speed is not hugely different.

I have owned several different keeled boats and Full Keel is the Best in my opinion

A regular full keel is better choice crossing oceans (safer). I would like to see you catching a typhoon in a regular fin keel see what would happen to you. It is a foolish notion that you are impervious to mother nature in the ocean and "that would never happen to me" kind of attitude. Worst video ever!

You didn’t explain what technological advances make the long keel obsolete. Crossing an ocean faster might be safer. If that’s true, why not just take a plane?

Old boats rusted keels and bolts = keels need attention and maintenance. If you hit something you could be in trouble. Also a skeg is oftentimes missing on fin keel boats . The reason full keel boats aren’t made nowadays is because it’s more expensive apparently according to people in this industry I’ve heard. Personally I’m on the fence although my Albin Vega is full keel. I think my Vega is easy to pick up 6.5 knots in light winds

well being around boats for a lifetime and sailing as many years as I have I can disagree with much of this argument, and then agree with some, I have sailed or owned nearly every keel design. as a sailor, tech, and design /builder, restoration and advisor I still belong to the semi traditional soft cutaway full keel school, LOVE my full keel 42 ketch, but will agree it is hard to dock and forget reverse, One thing is for certain, if you rig your vessel well sail it well they will point relatively high, the comfort motion can not be beat period, nothing is as smooth and comforting in heavy weather as a well designed full keeler, Not just any full keel boat. Now tracking is very good too, on a long voyage you may only need to compensate course a few degrees up to land on your mark. steering is very easy if it is set up right, if you have standard non assisted hydraulic steering there is never any hard pressure working against you and it is feather light, it is NOT hard to to steer simply due to keel, that is FALSE unless you running with a tiller and some cable units might have too small of a quadrant or poor gear ratio in the pedestal. all keels will have advantages and disadvantages, every thing in boat design is a compromise and if you go as deep as to study all the findings and research over the past 60 years of the Naval institute regarding all the sea accidents, design research, etc.. you will find there is no one bad or good design, they all have vary distinct and notable qualities and advantages. full keels are not really going anywhere for the offshore guys anytime soon, I promise.

It makes sense that more fin keel boats are crossing oceans because as you said there are more of them out there.
So before there was a lot of fin keeled boats there was full, long, modified,… so it's not that the fin is any better its that there's more of them ..
Just install a bow thruster if you have problems docking,, even a lot of modern sailboats with fin keels have bow thrusters.. because any boat 40ft or longer will have problems docking.

I'm confused about the comment made at 5:57. "... full keel is too inefficient. This will lead to long-term much much higher running costs."

How is the inefficiency related to costs? I'm not seeing the connection.
