I thought the idea was to keep the keel vertical????? surely it's more efficient that way.
Keel and rudder verticle in water is best for control.
5 tonne of balast acting as a leaver out the side best for speed.
Lots of these types of boats have a foward dagger board that they lower so they can have the best of both worlds.
). Small boats are meant to be kept pretty much bolt upright (ie mast vertical)
