[C38] Yankee 38

[Joseph Launie]

Phil,
     Great pix - they clearly show the skeg. The Yankee 38 was designed 
to the IOR rule which determined its shape. Frank Butler kept the basic 
hull shape and mold but designed a dryer, more comfortable boat with his 
typical Southern California interior.  Another West Coast touch was the 
deeper keel.  Removal of that skeg   probably helps make the C-38 a 
little hairy close to dead down in heavy air. On Macavity, we reach with 
our Assy sails   and avoid dead down. In fact, we seldom go deeper than 
160. Joe Launie,    Macavity
