[MHml] Atlantic 42 (46?) capsize on Lake Michigan

[Paul Nudd]

Nothing to do with the capsize but did I see mini-keels + daggerboards?
I didn't know any cat used this config'. Surely the worst of both worlds?
I see the biggest advantage of daggerboards over mini-keels as being 
able to get them right up for beaching, shallow water navigation and 
safer downwind sailing.
