Sleeps 6 has two anchors retractable keel water ballast ropes replaced on mast not too long ago. Sailboats with fixed keels can be more difficult to tow and nearly impossible to launch at most boat ramps the protruding keel puts the hull in the air that the tow vehicle could easily be submerged before the boat found enough depth to float free of the trailer. I am wondering if there are any lifting keel drop keel sailboats in the 24 to 35 range where the keel height can be adjusted while under sail.
