KFZ I have just heard of someone breaking an oldish GP for parts in Wiltshire. I can forward you his email if you are interested. Its near me so I can go and look if you want.
Also the cvrda travelling members often ship parts around the country on their travels.

It was a rule change in the mid/late 90's. Some suggest it improves tacking speed, you can also do away with the keelband holding the slot gasket and go for a glued one if you so desire. Really you have to ask yourself why leave them on...  

When we did it to my Cheshire Cat it involved a friend and an electric plane (while watching out for screws and nails.

The concern is whether the keels are structural in any way. Hopefully your question on the class forum will answer that. I would have thought the bilge keels wouldn't be, but the centre keel might require consideration.

do you mean the spray rails?  on the marauder they are an integral feature of the design (apparently) and Peter Milne was renowned for them, so they will be staying on.
the same, but different...

Yep slightly and being a development class, class rules permit it?

She looks old.  What is she?

Why would you want to take the keels off for?
