???? "After some hair-raising experiences with the keel, and heeling the boat so the grinder pedestals were underwater, it was rejigged with a fixed keel, and shortly afterwards the mizzen was removed and the whole thing re-rigged as a normal masthead maxi. Big, tough, ugly but occasionally swift. A well-known man-eater in the days of galvanised wire running rigging." (from Internet Forum 2007)
