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

[Glenn Brodie]

Not really mini-keels - just a short section about 3-4' long, that goes
down about 1 foot to protect the rudder and engine in a grounding -
intentional or otherwise. The dagger boards are for performance, with
boards up it draws less than 3' - I view it as the _best_ of both
worlds. :)

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.
