Locking keel down   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #238 of 255 |
Hi,

I have recently purcased a micro 18 - suspected as a salty marine one.

At the moment the keel drops down into its box however there is no means to lock
it down.

How do you all lock your keel in the down position when sailing? I need to make
my keel secured and the casing watertight when sailing to comply with the new
fyca cat 4 guidelines.h

Many thanks,

k9252y
