    Replying to:RL24 MK3 keel locking mechanism
    Hi, I'm looking in to options for a keel locking mechanism. This would be to prevent 'turtling' due to the keel retracting in to the hull after a knockdown. It seems there are several variations: - the pipe inserted vertically from above secured with a grab screen arrangement (mentioned on this website) - a rope attached to the top of trailing edge of the keel that is routed around a fixture (bolt) mounted through the rear of the keel case, through the top of the table then and secured. Someone sent me some info on this modification for a careel 18 that they had adapted to a RL24. - ?hydraulic keel mechanisms I'm sure this has been addressed by various owners of RL24s in the past but there isn't much info about how people have done it. Cheers Tim
