I have a Sadler 34 fitted with the wing keel.
I am very happy with its general performance but have started to wonder how the keel design would cope with severe storm conditions. Seems to me that the keel shape would not be conducive to, say, side slipping down the face of waves but there may be some corresponding benefits.
I am not planning to head for the Southern Ocean but like to be aware of any potential limitations in the set up I have.
Does anyone have experience of wing keels in really heavy ocean weather? How did it go?
Thanks
