I have been away for a few weeks an have just returned to read a few of the latest postings.....and was wondering...is this still a shared "SAILING" info web site?????is it??...or is the cruising word taken on a different meaning here? Any way swinging keels.......I have a centerboard on my Morgan 46 and was thinking of doing some ocean sailing this year.....has anyone on this group done that with a centerboard layout??.....does the centerboard tend to bang around??....currently we have locked ours in the up position for bay sailing...but I am debating unlocking it for the off shore trips. I know we will point better with the board down but is there any other pros and cons? Any feed back would be appriciated. thanks Rob
