Inboard keel hung rudders (which are a continuation of the aft trailing edge of the full keel) are traditionally deemed the most damage resistant rudders for off shore sailing. Better performance with faster handling characteristics can be provided by skeg hung rudders on boats with smaller fin keels.
Carl Alberg designed many of the company's models, favoring simple lines, narrow beams, and often utilizing a full keel for superior handling in heavier winds and seas. Together they gave these boats the classic Cape Dory look. [1] Alberg utilized the aforementioned full keel with attached rudder for a sleek and sturdy shape.
In a 1992 review Richard Sherwood wrote, "this is a small ocean cruiser that evolved from the Hans Christian 38 and 42. The design emphasizes appearance and cruising accommodations. The rudder is very large and, for a full-keel boat, far aft." [3]
The blending of the keel into the hull forward captures the lateral stability of a full keel, and with the cut away aft portion lends greater responsiveness to the helm. While the skeg bestows additional lateral resistance to the hull aft producing directional stability, its robust design also supports and protects the rudder.
They are also one of the first American "racer-cruiser" style boats that combine the comforts of a cruising boat with the advantage of a modified full keel with a spade rudder (see photo), like that of the Bill Lapworth Cal 40 designs that revolutionized ocean racing in the mid-late 1960s. The keel allows the boat to track well and have good ...
The Herreshoff Rozinante is an American full-keel, ... an angled transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel. It displaces 6,550 lb ...
Alternating layers of 1.5oz Mat and 24 ounce woven roving were used in the hull's construction, six layers of this were used on most of the hull but 10 - 12 layers were used around the keel. It has a full keel with a cutaway forefoot. The keel contains encapsulated iron ballast. It also has a long rudder with a cutaway for the propeller.
It has a cutter rig with anodized aluminum spars, a clipper bow, a conventional transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller, or optional Edson wheel, and a fixed long keel. The design has no provisions for a spinnaker and has been noted as having a small cockpit. It has a book displacement of 7,100 lb (3,221 kg) and carries 3,000 lb ...
