S/V Velocity
Profile of the keel of Velocity.
Velocity has a cored hull, a carbon-fiber mast, and a bit of a swelling at the bottom of her keel, all of which keeps the total weight down and low. But, in her heart, she's a cruising boat — the flared bow and full stern keeps her from surfing in all but the strongest of wind conditions.
