I always get the backs and the feet people confuse, anyway.

Especially as chiros are quacks whose treatment is based entirely on a fictional account of how biology works.

Because it sinks when it capsizes? I use the classification YNBC Yacht with no bog or cooker. It's a yot when it costs you money to get it out of the water.

Laser Stratos Keel....clearly a dinghy with a ballasted board to help keep it the right way up......
What about a Finn? I seem to recall they have heavy metal boards... Dare I even mention the Bosun?...... Personally I class the Flying Fifteen, K1 et al as dinghies.

Maybe the differentiation should be between dinghy and yacht and not dinghy and keelboat. Clearly a flying fifteen is not a yacht even though it shares a keel, an E22 maybe 30 ft long but again you might struggle to actually define it as a yacht whereas say a J24 clearly is a yacht.
Back in the 60s Redwings had horrendously heavy centreboards and no trapeze, they were never yachts or keelboats, between then and now they got rid of the steel centreboard and added a trapeze. A K1 should be defined as a dinghy, bracket ballasted close brackets. |

When does a self-righting dinghy become a proper keelboat?
The original concept for the K1 was for a pure keelboat, but the production boat derives a lot of its righting moment from the hiking crew. We need a definition based on the percentage of the righting moment provided by the keel in normal, powered-up sailing. Set it too low and you include Larks and Fireflies, mind.
