Does anyone have specs that are readable on how the swing keel works. I am pretty sure there is a pin that keeps the keel from full extension but I don’t know enough about the mechanism to convince them that is should not be put back into the water with the swing keel in that fully extended position. I scoured the Internet looking for specs and cannot find the specs for the swing keel. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you… Tim [image: falcons_logo] Tim Brown Assistant Coach, Kelowna Falcons 949-351-6664 (C) 951-222-8226 (W) Kelowna, B.C.
