So, working on buying my 1st sailboat greater than 15'.  It's a 1988 30MkII.
It has a wing keel.  I read somewhere that a wing keel generates some lift.
So....
Does a wing keel create lift?
Should I have more heavy stuff at the back of the boat for increased angle
of attack on the keel?
Or..
don't be silly.. its a 8,000lb boat going 5 knots.  It does nothing.
