Norm: I've motored with the board up and with it down, and can't detect a difference in performance. Sometimes I pull it up because it rattles when it is down with no side pressure. --Gary Hyde N24 'Sailabration' M15 #235 'Vanilla' On Nov 07, 2004, at 7:30 AM, Wayne Yeargain wrote:
Sure you can, I motor and even sometimes sail with the c'board up. You will point higher with it down when sailing but it's not unsafe to have it up.

If the sails are furled, would it be safe to motor with the keel up for better performance. I was thinking about fairly calm days on the ocean. Since I'm so new to sailing, I don't have a clue.
