I enjoy looking at and comparing the keels on different boats.
My boat has a full length keel (IP calls it a "full foil keel") and a large rudder that's hung quite a bit away from the prop. Not sure why-- most rudders I see are immediately behind the prop.
It doesn't back up well, but seems to track and steer well underway.
