Keel Shapes

This page was developed in 2010 to inform a discussion on our one-design measurement rules, and to show different Islander keels. Note that measurements taken in the early years of the fleet (late 70's) indicated that "asymmetrical" keels were up to 3/4" different over a relatively small area on one side of the keel.   If anyone would like to submit significant additions, send them to: webmaster@islander36.org
