Issuma is a 15m (50') steel staysail schooner with lifting keel, built by META in France to a Damien II design. The draft when sailing is 3.1m (10.5'). When motoring, the keel can be raised to reduce the draft to as little as 1.3m (4.3') to get into shallow places. There is a blog about my travels in this boat at http://www.sailblogs.com/member/rhudson |
