I am considering buying a Hanse 371 with a lifting keel. However I have heard that some owners have had problems - eg the keel gets stuck inth "up" position. Has any one else had or heard of any problems like this??
Also does anyone have any views about how they sail vs a fixed keel?
and finally, if you sail with the keel up, I realise that you could not be as close winded, but does it have much effect on the overall stability of the boat? ie does it become much more tender??
many thanks in advance.

Did you get a response from your query on the lifting keel on the 371. I am in exactly the same situation;thinking of buying a 2004 371 but would like more info on the keel exactly as per your questions.
Any thoughts
