I don’t seem to find your video on your Southerly 38 Ruby Rose, but, I have a couple questions. How often did you use the lifting ability of the keel outside of the French Canals? Secondly, that lower area at the bow, with the anchor windlass, bothers me. It seems like it is “asking” all the waves breaking over the bows to drain into the forward hold. Did you experience any problems with this design.? You see, we’d like to get a sailboat and we’d like to be able to travel on European canals and we’d like to be younger (oops, not do-able!). Have safe experience in Australia, get vaccinated! Looking forward to the 1370. Best Regards, Craig
