Heavy cast iron swinging keel that is lifted by a winch inside the cabin making it flush with the hull enabling the yacht to float in 8 inches of water and put the ballast 4ft down in the water where it is needed when the keel is lowered.
Sails consist of the main sail and furling genoa on a Plastimo roller reefing system.
