feeling drop keel boats

[Birdseye]

Anybody here got one? I would be interested in feedback since the 36ft version is on my (short) list of take to the ground boats.

Do you mean whether I've got a drop keel? Yep, last time I looked. Great for running aground anywhere where there's not enough water.
BTW, I like the Southerly 35RS although I can't afford one!

How well does it sail? Is it tender? Any problems with the drop keel system?
