For anything relating to the 44ft Lifeboats

I have my very own 44ft MLB engineer EN3/MKCS William Collette Ret.
who has very kindly agreed to help you with your engineering questions.

Has anyone ever tried fitting twin bilge keels on an 44to improve roll control?
It looks as if you were to fit twin keels all the way outboard and the same configuration as the central keel
the ride may be improved somewhat and roll resistance at rest could be enhanced. Of course this is already the best hull that could be designed at the time, so it may have been tried and discarded years ago.

I am going to be doing an interior re fit of 44022 in Oct/ Nov. so we will be out of the water and I plan on staring at the hull a bit to see what may be done...
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
