When I purchased my Freedom 21 a couple of years ago, I noticed to
large metal plates screwed onto the sides of the keel. Are these
grounding plates? I was actually thinking of removing them but am
not sure. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I think you are seeing grounding plates for a lightening arrest system. I just bought a freedom 21 two weeks ago and have sailed only about a half dozen times. Anything you’d like to share about the boat, would be greatly appreciated. I have only sailed with the main so far. I do have a spinnaker & jib. I have the shoal draft keel as I live on the W Coast of FL. where its rather shallow in my area. Thanks in adance, Johnmonettepl <pmonette@…> wrote:
