Neal Purchase Jnr. Cutaway Keels - Futures Compatible (Solid Fiberglass)
Regular price $ 115.00/
The Neal Purchase Jr. Cutaway Keels offer a fresh interpretation of traditional keel-fin design, blending classic speed and drive with a noticeably more responsive feel. By removing area from the trailing edge, the cutaway template reduces drag and frees up the tail, allowing for smoother transitions and tighter turning arcs than a conventional keel. The result is a uniquely balanced design that delivers the projection of a keel with a level of maneuverability rarely found in the category.
