    Keel bulb for revamped Northern Comfort 43

22 March 2018 ,

Keel bulb for revamped Northern Comfort 43

To boost the stability,.lift and  modify wave patrens, a so called beavertail bulb of lead will be added on the tip of the keel of one of the GRP Northern Comforts 43.

On some of my other lifting keel designs this shape has proven succesfully several times.
