Information supplied by designer.

The keel is retracted by 50 cm when on the trailer in order to reduce the overall towing height to 3.30 m.
Thanks to Mark E. for providing correction.

This boat features a hollow daggerboard secured in place by a hatch. Ballast is lowered into the keel using small bags of lead shot. It’s unknown how similar to the orginal version the later O’Day model is. Thanks to the folks at CVRDA.com for providing information on the WILDFIRE as well as some other English boats of this era. (Another boat that has a similar feature is the Milne designed VULCAN.)

There is also a more cruising oriented version.
