What about that spiky thing below the water at the back of the boat?

When I was a lot younger, I lusted after a Bermuda 40 Yawl. Now in my 60's I'm thinking a ~50 ft Ketch, with centerboard, although the Garden 46 looks interesting.
Best wishes from the far North.

And u ended this episode with mayne what I want to hear. Id love to be prepared for ocean crossings, if it strikes me, but I could as easily end up in the Caribbean and just stay. I just want a safe boat!! I need to not be afraid of making the wrong choice. Thanks for all the great advice!

Good video a lot of info . I am very experienced on sloop and
Ketch rigs . A ketch is not designed to run around day sailing . They are meant to ocean sail . and if they are long keel very comfortably, I might add. As you know the majority of ocean sailing is on run and the beam not usually close hauled.
Running With a ketch rig gives you a lot of Combinations Of sail configurations.
I single hand a ketch rig all the time even club race . And the truth is it's It's not much more effort than tacking a sloop. The mizzen does not give you much hard on the wind and does not require much effort to adjust. I also sail a catalina with a bolt on keel and when you hit sand and mud its a hard bang . A full
Or long incapacitated keel usually rides up a grounding smoothly because
Of the gradual slop of the keel that is unless you hit a wall or reef.
You commented that a hard grounding on a bolt on is easier to repair. The keel
What about the boat . Probably not going to sink a boat smashing a incapacitated keel. A bolt on Probably will take in water on a bad grounding .
As far a long keel boats being slow my 41 foot has hull speed about 8 knots.
And I never win a race but I can sure finish them . A long keel ketch below 15 knots is crawling compared to a equally sized sloop. But when it hits 20 and above they are as fast as an equally sized sloop.

I love love your channel! I am finally getting serious about buying my boat, and I think I have decided on a full keel boat, simply for the safety aspect. The whole bolted keels falling off has scared the crop out of me! But I am in lo e with the Catalina. Perplexed!!

You make some good points, but here's my question.
Since most boats being purchased are 30-40 years old, what suggestion can you make regarding keel inspection and maintenace, for a bolted keel?

You brought up Rafiki, and sure, it was due to bad workmanship and structural fatigue.
But on the other side, Rafiki was a racing sailboat professionally maintained and professionally crewed.
Professional sailors and a professional maintenance crew failed to identify problems and maintain the keel in a safe manner.

What is your confidence level, in the ability of the average sailor to do so, and to properly inspect, identify potential issues and repair a bolted keel?
