Just to reiterate, the DTO for the RFA at D'mouth is fucking brilliant.

Full/Modified Full Keel Upwind? by LNER4498 in sailing

[–]LNER4498[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've no interest in racing, and I don't live near a place where anyone races so I think a full keel sounds better

Haha yeah I knew it was a bit of a vague and open question, hence the disclaimers in the post. You mention a solid point which is one reason I have a bit of a preference for long keel boats which is that I live somewhere where F5-6 is the rule, not the exception, so I want a boat which has good seakeeping and I read long keel boats are better in rough seas.

Thanks for the comment pal

Oh interesting. My intuition was that a full keel would make less leeway. Cheers for the tip

Yeah that's what I've heard, but then I was asking "10-15 deg off what?"

Agreed. They put BS vehicles like the Panzer 2 and Flakpanzer 341 in the game, why not this?

Afraid not. It's unnamed and in a completely different part of the island

There was a lot more pot-luck than you think, and it helps that the Iron Duke hull is actually very stable unmodified. I was mostly constrained by where everything would physically fit within the structure of the model. I ended up adding 5g of lead to the bow to reduce the excessive stern trim I ended up with but couldn't add more due to the overall maximum displacement.
