  I measured my Baba 30 today and the height from the bottom of the keel to the top of the mainsheet traveler is about 10 feet 8 inches. The width of the keel is greatest on the forward portion and is about 12 inches wide. I have the keel sitting on about 3 blocks of wood about 3 inches thick so I can still fit the traveler's straps under the keel.

  With my boat on the trailer it is about 12 feet high! I have a mast carrier on the port side of the trailer so I don't have to have the mast on the top. I verified B Perry's info that the keel bottom "starts" about 16 feet aft of the bow (stem). It is quite a load but my trailer has about 6,000 miles on it now.....I think that is even more than we have sailed it!

  I managed to get some pictures to Alan but I don't think I can post them to the list.

  I hope that helps,

  Ken
