	ok i will try to keep this simple the keels canter to provide alot more leverage its a bit like trapezing as it helps to keep the boat flat and more powered up. When they work they are great, but because of angle there is an increase in the stresses and they have a tendancy to snap off. Leaving the boat upside down not good!!!

	they are canterd to the windward side of the boat when sailing. the keels are moved by hydrolics. It is not this that fails it is the bearing that snap thus letting the keel fall off
