Remarks :
She floats in less than a metre and dries out upright. A cast iron ballast plate protects the
bottom, with full skeg protection for the rudder.
Kernow is the perfect cruising boat for exploring out of the way harbours and tidal estuaries
with the bonus of being able to use cheap drying moorings.
