Is it a matter of boat design?

16/10/2003 09:29

This may be a statement of the obvious, but does hull design make a particular boat more liable to pick up stray nets and line.

All of the boats I met this summer who had been fouled (see my earlier post) were of bilge keel design.

Just think - a pair of keels doing say 6 knots - just sweep all the debris directly onto the prop and rudder.

If the rudder isn't skeg mounted then you have an even bigger problem.

Just a thought.

Cheers
