I am looking at a 1972 Morgan 30. Can anyone tell me what the keel material was made of in this model?

Hello Don, Some information on sailboatdata, but no mention of keel except to show a keel/centerboard. Could it be cast iron??? Is there a Morgan discussion group you could ask about this? I imagine you are shopping.......best wishes.

Just discovered that the keel is cast lead, 4500# worth. Boat displaces 10,500#

OK. We sailed yesterday out of Bokeelia and thoroughly enjoyed the fog! Seemed reasonable to go out from the dock, :naughty: but the fog never lifted. Thank goodness for GPS! Phil
