Comment from Facebook 2021 "we did the same to the 1/2 Tonner Kamehameha, she looked like a dog trying to get under a fence, bow down when sailing, so we moved the keel back 500mm and the rudder back as far as we could without extending her waterline length, made her a much better beast to sail, especially hard downwind."
