Which Yacht hull??

[Rick DevonshireParticipant @rickdevonshire]

Some time ago I built a SEAWIND yacht and also purchased a suit of Nylet sails to get the best performance from her. These sail are beautifully made and really enhance her performance.

The Seawind is about the same size as a One Metre class boat and she also has a bulb and fin Keel and rudder similar to that class. However this proves to be a problem when she encounters weeds.

I am therefore consdering building a new hull which has a more traditional swept keel and possibly a fin hinged on a skeg which slips though weeds without collecting them. I intend to use my Nylet sails on this new hull.

This is my question – which hull should I pick? It needs to be about the size of a One Metre, look just as good as the Seawind hull but have a traditional swept keel, probably an integral rudder or one fitted to a skeg and be able to shrug off weeds?

Any ideas?
