I first came across Keith's own-designed and home-built boat at a Poole Harbour Dinghy Cruising Association rally. 'Flying Pig' was quite the smallest boat there, and I wondered how he could find room for cruising her without the need to camp ashore. She is the most minimal cruising sailboat I have ever seen, since she is made from five pieces of plywood and is so tiny. Normally, she does carry a petrol (gasoline) outboard motor, which precludes her from truly being a Micro-Sailboat under the definition of this web site, but she can be powered by sail and oar. A unique feature of Keith's boat is the design of her twin keels. They are each made in two sections, one above the other. The lower sections are shaped from galvanized mild steel and they hinge to fall vertically below the upper sections by the force of gravity. Most ingeniously, the folding parts are linked by rope to a kick-up rudder, which, when it is raised, because of contact with the sea bed, pulls the rope to lift the hinged keels. Thus the boat can proceed without being stuck on the bottom, which gives opportunity for her skipper to retrace tracks into deeper water. E-mail: keith@holdsworth1.demon.co.uk
