Hi all

With the retirement of Wild Oats because of a canting keel hydraulic failure I was wondering if the keel was able to be centralised and locked is the boat still able to be sailed with a decent amount of sail up

Obviously in Wild Oats case the were not able or decided not to continue racing but I wonder how critical the canting function is for the stability of the boat under sail

I guess as well that there might be more problems with the keel or keel control mechanism other than what is being reported at the moment

Regards Don
