Well, apparently it has a Wing Keel, but even so......
Whenever any of mine were out and blocked down you could feel the boat moving in the cradle if you walked about the deck. If I'd been on board that, I'd have been s
tting bricks.
That one can't tip backwards, because the rudder looks as if it's grounded too, but how it never fell over on its side because of the windage on the topsides, or fell forward on the bow is a mystery. As indeed is why someone would be daft enough to try and sail over the spit at night in a keelboat in the first place. There's are two cardinal marks marking the spit and a sector light marking the entrance ISTR, although it's a few years since I've been in there.
